    It’s funny because boards and the journal are full of absolute nut job right wingers but no one I know in real life has these extreme views or are unwilling to listen to science and facts and figures. Is Ireland really a cesspit of right leaning anti everything folk?

    Well here on boards it seems like there's a lot but they just get banned and come back with new names.

    I can't imagine there is many actual real world people just lots of usernames.

    New posters with similar styles!

    It amazes me how afraid you all are of having less money and lower standard of living. That is essential for a cleaner earth. How would you ever have survived in harder times in the past? And you call us pink haired folk snowflakes...
    Bring on massive carbon taxes and less money and stuff for everyone I say, if only to annoy the right wing loonies in this thread.

    Spoken like a true dole scrounger :》

    I think we need to change the name of the thread to

    The "Let's crush capitalism and live in a log cabin for the rest of days eating nothing but magic mushrooms like Thom Yorke told us to do" thread 🙄

    I work for myself mostly and earn a modest wage. I’m not hell bent on money like most people though.

    Really? You might ask the opinion of the Haitian environmentalists about that lower standard of living. Here is the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Or may by consider the cleaner earth in Europe prior to the industrial revolution. Go ahead with the Carbon taxes, the environmentalists movement stands to benefit from the wealth transfer.

    Where do you get the time to read all this crap and watch all the videos you post and no one else watches? Or are you multiple people on shifts?

    Indeed, and I've completed a 20 mile cycle this morning. Those conspiracy theory nutters would have you believe I'm employed by big oil (Mr. Koch If you are reading you can make out the cheque to my tax shelter sorry meant charitable foundation for persecuted libertarians)

    As I said previously I've been following this issue for several years and I know where the bodies are buried. :rolleyes:

    Net Zero means we are paying for the destruction of our economy and society in pursuit of an unachievable and pointless policy.

    Not a fan of Woody Allen at all, but some of these threads are like that scene from Annie Hall, where he's arguing with someone about a philospher, and the guy he's arguing with keeps on going even after Allen pulls the philosopher himself into the frame out of nowhere, to tell the guy he's wrong.

    Here's the woman at a LaRouche cult meeting and at AOC's town hall- funnily enough, the language these guys use is a lot like that the 'skeptics' use in this threadSomething the 'skeptics' (that completely lack any skepticism so far as this story is concerned...) could have found out just by scrolling the fucking link I gave...

    So what you are claiming is that someone who supports LaRouche's left-wing
    Ideologies - that same person also supports Trump?

    Reckon the baby eating person was just as likley a plant by Ms Cortez et al to try and bolster the Democrats equally bizarre green new deal policies :pac:

    But hey according to your ideology no one should have ever left Africa or developed human civilisation anyway?

    And the early peoples of Ireland who successfully adapted the resources of the country and built a society so that they could live and thrive destroyed everything did they?

    Perhaps your like to have everyone return to living in the jungle? Where theres is no civilisation, no farming and definitely no place for eejits to moralise to others about being better than everyone else - because they'd simply get eaten. Hang on - maybe there would be some benefits after all ...

    I can buy you a one way ticket if you would like ... ;)

    No, Boards just gets astroturfed more - especially by Libertarians, extending all the way to Alt Right stuff. You do, however, get some in older generations in Ireland, who are more susceptible the falling victim to nonsense/propaganda, through old age, declining mental health or reduced faculties - YouTube is awful for tripping such people up, as it's full of conspiracy theory clickbait shite.In person, people know they would be given a wide berth, spouting some of the stuff here.

    Young woke eejits attack anyone older (and more often wiser by the looks of it) than themselves - whats new lol ...

    So you believe everyone is out to get you and they are all conspiring right out in the open to do so yeah? And you claim others beliefs are strange lol ...

    This rubbish has to be the looniest hijack of a thread I have ever came across on boards to date. And that sure is saying something :D

    Why not? As per the other posters idea- find some group like the Amish - they seem to do just fine. But wait they have cows - nope you wouldn't like that at all ...

    Plenty of remote places to set up your own idea of utopia. Mind you will have to get the hands dirty, grow your own food or hunt and actually live in the countryside well away from all those people you evidently despise. Maybe crowd fund to help get set up. Hell I'll even donate....

    Also, on your 'provide proof or get out' statement, you can't demand proof in one post and ignore it elsewhere just to pick and choose your argument.

    Well, I know you can, because you've been doing it for x number of months now, but you shouldn't, and it shows how empty your argument is.

    Lol. Bull****. The claims are she is a La Rouche cult member. La Rouche supported the left - how the frack does that also makes her a Trump supporter lol. And I do love the way you implicitly believe the media. Just as likley shes a plant by Cortez and friends...

    And just because others point out the evident lack of logic in your posts does not mean those arguments lack proof'. So down off the high horse there boyo. It doesn't suit your set up ;)

    So a photo still and a quote from a fictional film by Woody Allen is your argument that this baby eating person is explicably a trump supporter lol

    Kyuusb your comments are the definition of 'wrong' on so many levels I'm at a loss where to start :D

    This is a good recent article to start with.

    Another readable recent one is this.

    This is NASA's climate change site. If you scroll down a little, you'll find four circles with comprehensive articles about evidence, solutions etc.

    It's a bit technical but the IPCC has a lot of scientific papers on climate change. Many are readable to non-scientists.

    I think a bigger/more immediate time bomb is air quality for people living in cities.

    You have people who have spent their entire lives in cities breathing in sh1te, what impact will this have on your lungs after 40 years.

    And when I say city I am speaking of larger cities so not necessarily Dublin/Cork.
