Green Rising

Product Information

While China significantly ramped up domestic coal production and coal power capacity additions last year, actual coal consumption did not fully keep pace. Tempered by a large increase in solarPV and wind generation, coal accounted for around three-fifths of the fuel mix in electricity generation. Total electricity demand grew much slower than the average seen over the last decade. As such, emissions from coal-fired power increased by around 3%, in part due to the ramp-up of coal power plants during heat waves, as well as to increasing reliance on electricity or district heating fuelled by coal.

There were few Protestant rebels present and thus the Rising became strongly associated with Catholicism. [230] The likes of Grace Gifford, Markievicz and Casement converted from Protestantism to Catholicism just before, during and after the Rising, respectively. [231] The Catholic character of the rebels was stressed by priests influential in the Church's acceptance of the insurgency. [232] On Tuesday 25 April, Dubliner Francis Sheehy-Skeffington, a pacifist nationalist activist, was arrested and then taken as hostage and human shield by Captain John Bowen-Colthurst; that night Bowen-Colthurst shot dead a teenage boy. [184] Skeffington was executed the next day – alongside two journalists. [184] [185] Two hours later, Bowen-Colthurst captured the Labour Party councillor and IRB lieutenant, Richard O'Carroll and had him shot in the street. [186] Major Sir Francis Vane raised concerns over Bowen-Colthurst's actions and saw to him being court martaled. Bowen-Colthurst was found guilty but insane and was sentenced to an insane asylum. Owing to political pressure, an inquiry soon transpired, revealing the murders and their cover-up. [184] The killing of Skeffington and others provoked outrage among citizens. [187] The Dream of the Celt is a 2012 novel by Mario Vargas Llosa based on the life and death of Roger Casement, including his involvement with the Rising. Flanagan, Frances (2015). Remembering the Revolution: Dissent, Culture, and Nationalism in the Irish Free State. Oxford University Press. ISBN 978-0198739159. Support for the rebels did exist among Dubliners, expressed through both crowds cheering at prisoners and reverent silence. [205] [206] With martial law seeing this expression prosecuted, many would-be supporters elected to remain silent although "a strong undercurrent of disloyalty" was still felt. [206] Drawing upon this support, and amidst the deluge of nationalist ephemera, the immensely popular Catholic Bulletin eulogised Volunteers killed in action and implored readers to donate; entertainment was offered as an extension of those intentions, targeting local sectors to great success. [204] [207] [i] The Bulletin's catholic character allowed it to evade the widespread censorship of press and seizure of republican propaganda; it therefore exposed many unaware readers to said propaganda.

The executed poets possessed similar motifs: pastoral imagery, Celtic mythology, notions of saintliness, sacrifice, and martyrdom, and inspiration from English poets. [238] Pearse equated his emmient execution, and that of Robert Emmet, with the death of Jesus Christ; patroism with religious faith. [222] The SS Libau (disguised as the Aud) and the U-19 reached the coast of Kerry on Good Friday, 21 April. This was earlier than the Volunteers expected and so none were there to meet the vessels. The Royal Navy had known about the arms shipment and intercepted the SS Libau, prompting the captain to scuttle the ship. Furthermore, Casement was captured shortly after he landed at Banna Strand. [50] This is done to preserve the anonymity of the people in that area, as some postcodes cover a very small area, sometimes a single building.MacNeill was briefly persuaded to go along with some sort of action when Mac Diarmada revealed to him that a German arms shipment was about to land in County Kerry. MacNeill believed that when the British learned of the shipment they would immediately suppress the Volunteers, thus the Volunteers would be justified in taking defensive action, including the planned manoeuvres.

Energy-related emissions in China were relatively flat between 2021 and 2022, decreasing by 0.2% or 23Mt to around 12.1Gt. Emissions from energy combustion alone grew by 88Mt, entirely due to increased use of coal, but this was more than offset by declines in emissions from industrial processes. The overall yearly decline was the first since structural reforms drove emissions lower in 2015.The Sinn Fein Rebellion", Hansard - HL Deb 11 May 1916 vol 21 cc1002-36, UK Parliament, 11 May 1916 The only substantial combat of the first day of the Rising took place at the South Dublin Union where a piquet from the Royal Irish Regiment encountered an outpost of Éamonn Ceannt's force at the northwestern corner of the South Dublin Union. The British troops, after taking some casualties, managed to regroup and launch several assaults on the position before they forced their way inside and the small rebel force in the tin huts at the eastern end of the Union surrendered. [86] However, the Union complex as a whole remained in rebel hands. A nurse in uniform, Margaret Keogh, was shot dead by British soldiers at the Union. She is believed to have been the first civilian killed in the Rising. [87]
