Climate Bolloxolgy.

Thing is if a new government is formed say with sinn fein could these changes or policies be reversed?

Also if they start with this whole it's a European thing then from what I'm hearding today from lads, if there was a referendum on an exit from Europe I'd say we could have an eirexit. Lads are just do sick of this shite noe. First the beet industry, then the peat and now the Agri industry as a whole.

It's projected upto 75000 people could lose their jobs over a possible 50% cull in the herd. Some pressure on the social welfare system there. Only thing for it is more taxes to pay for it. Where will it end.

Love to know how they would try to inform any cull in the herd. Any official could be met with anything from a thick face to a shotgun

Government needs to retrain people. There are plenty of jobs available in Ireland

You are using the same logic coal miners use. Animal farming and milk producing in its current state is going to end, same as mining coal.

The wise thing to do is to adapt before the rest does... Get a head start

Eirexit?? What do you think will happen If you think the government is incompetent now.

2 Billion of them would starve

People didn't eat coal.

Wars didn't start over coal.

The EU wasn't set up to secure a coal supply.

Coal and steel is where the whole thing started.

Poland and Hungary are pretty awful examples. They are essentially ran by far right dictators that got elected by populism on the style of Trump or Brexit. The majority of the populations of both countries want to stay in the EU and are against the governments.

Hungary in particular is full of rubbish right wing propaganda. The pic below was taken by a mate who visited over the summer.

It basically translates as Soros is at it again or something to that effect. That type of right wing rubbish has no place here.

I always laugh at this sentiment, the farmer argument that the world will starve if methods have to change. Ireland doesn't feed 8 billion people like. It's no lie that stocking rates are lower in organics, yields in organic tillage are improving all the time. It's just all about what would suit a person's system. It might make perfect sense for a suckler farmer with 30 cows to convert from conventional to organics with 20 or so cattle and actually make more money with arguably less work.

And this is what I was saying from the start of the thread. Far too much division and as you say the "us vs them" mentality. Needs to meet in the middle and yes I do also agree that Ireland is in a good position to supply food sustainably and for high end markets. I think it's fairly obvious the greens and their policies won't be around for too much longer. It's just a case of how strict the EU directives will be.

What's factual incorrect about the above statement, soros is one serious piece of s**t...

Then you get a few months later teenage girls been raped by a "transgender" male in girls/transgender sharing toilets passed by woke school boards in the above counties backed by woke democrats installed by soros, and the parent of the raped girl been arrested at a school board meeting when he's told it never happened and removed for making a scene

It's not really of topic, the same c**ts, telling us we are destroying the planet are all in on the above stuff aswell, the little b***d that committed the rape was found guilty, is that made up too ffs....

Left leaning politicians are never wrong when they are they are still right, 300 million odd cows out in India alot just for ceremonial value and not food production but its the paddy milking a few cows that's the problem

Sure the coal industry is now getting busier. Aren't China increasing the amount of coal fired power stations in the country so not much changing there

Whats wrong with the way food is produced in this country atm

It really isn't, the terms are clearly defined when a country joins the EU. Poland knew the rules when they joined in 2004, it's only now they seem to have an issue with it. Poland will fall back in line when the EU is forced to with hold funding for them.

China feiced cos they stopped importing high grade coal from Australia - and then had major floods in one of their coal mining regions - thats kinda short term I know -

They are still building new coal burning plants though - kind of hard to bring over a billion people up out of poverty in a couple of decades without using nuclear ,coal, gas and everything else - they've committed to going carbon neutral as well though ..

Food production isnt terrible in Ireland - the non intensive side could probably use minimal fertilizer , and the intensive side is very input driven and almost green deserts- there's probably a lot of rough - scrubby and wet land that would be best incentivised to be left as it is .

The current emissions accounting system is full of anomalies - we need some one to bat for Irish ag - and not just take the easiest route -

It's not actually Fox News, it's Fox News piggy-backing on a unsubstantiated Daily Wire accusation. A lot of "allegedly", "According to the Daily Wire Article...." and "Seems to be.." wording. The Daily Wire is like taking economic advice from page 3 of the Sun. But, it suited your agenda so you ran with it without reading it.

Bringing Transgender issues in to this shows you've lost already. "Left leaning politicians.." more irrelevance.
