Sorry. I find it easier to read when people do that. I will try something else. I wasn't trying to be difficult.:(

Its no big deal.

You are SO MEAN! Not talking to you starting now!

I see George Lee has a piece on it on the rte website.

He's in his element there. Scaremongering is his forte.

It starts at 9pm.

Mary trying to tell us the time on a quarter of a pizza slice.

Come back with a real clock you ninny, then I might start to half listen to yer noise.

It's also ironic that they call themselves the elders thinking it gives off some vibe of wisdom and mysticism, when in reality the only vibe elders give off is a cloud of condescending farts. There's good reason we give Granny an extra large sherry at Christmas, and it's not so she might stay awake to inspire us with another 4 hours of her intellectual insights.

It's interesting.

I have heard environmental activists suggest that certain world problems are not important as they will not last they will go. The cuban missile crisis ended etc.

But the climate will get worse unless we change.

I suggest to them though that the reason we find worldwide action hard ...is because of these human issues getting in the way. And we need to solve them too if we are to conquer environmental issues.

War is very damaging to the environment.

Also POVERTY impacts negatively on the environment. A lot of activists think its the other way around but they are uneducated.

POVERTY IS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO CLIMATE CHANGE.



If we solve these things we will be helping the environment HUGELY!

But a lot of activists don't point this out.

Poverty can degrade/deplete forests, soil, grasslands, and wildlife.

But a lot of activists are uneducated and think poverty actually helps the environment which is TOTALLY UNTRUE. And its a dangerous idea that massive companies are selling to get away with treating people like ****e and ruining the environment.

Solve poverty and war and you will help the environment.


DOES ANYONE REALIZE THE IMPACT HOMELESSNESS HAS ON THE ENVIRONMENT IN THIS COUNTRY?

Encampments have litter run off, toilet waste run off , homeless waste is a huge environmental issue.

Not only does it hurt the people who are themselves homeless it hurts the environment too.

But i never hear people talking about these problems.


All I hear is this vague idea we should return to poverty to save the environment. I think its the far right pushing this phantom idea. BECAUSE A RETURN TO POVERTY WOULD SCREW THE ENVIRONMENT!

We need to stop this thinking and educate people. We need modern day hygiene habits to HELP the environment. We are not asking people to line in hippy encampments. In fact that would be disastrous for the environment.

So you're saying we need to kill the poor and the homeless people?

Aren't they the guys that give John Wick safe harbour in various hotels?

Some quality reporting there from RTE

The countdown was established in 1947 by experts from The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists who were working on the Manhattan Project to design and build the first atomic bomb.

That must have been before they built the time machine to go back and use the bomb. And then wind up the project in 1946.

Have to say I laughed out loud at their current ad about how they give you unbiased fact-based news reporting.

Is there a tax I can pay to prevent doomsday, like the tax I pay to prevent the climate change sun to not explode and burn us all?

No it's not a tax it's a climate reducing fund.... It's going to fund our way out of climate change.....

It was 2 minutes to midnight in 1983 when Reagan and Gorby's predecessor were rattling (light) sabers and things like the other Star Wars (Strategic Defense (sic) Initiative) were getting us spooked. FGTH caught the zeitgeist with Two Tribes so it wasn't all bad.
