"Green" policies are destroying this country

On average there are 50 volcanoes on Earth erupting somewhere on Earth every day be it on land or underwater. Annually that contributes about 200 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Human contribution massively outstrips that. 24 billion tons of co2 by the vehicles and industries alone.

Probably the reason that for thousands of years the co2 levels remained consistent and past 100-150 have seen massive spike...

i think we're all being conned in ireland about the greens foisting these carbon taxes on us. this is an agenda across the eu and worldwide in many parts. FF and FG are all in for making us poorer too. why do they care? TD's get what 30K just to travel to work in expenses, do they give a fiddlers if our cost of going to work just went up 10-15% , the cost of heating our homes shoots up ? i hear someone ask on the radio recently if all the TD's drive electric ? now i realise why not.

we're in for a lot of pain going forward lads and lassies and circles, our cards have been well marked. hey, call me a big racist if ya like, but the solution to all the crises isn't to bring in a tiny fraction of people from war torn or whatever 3rd world country is struggling by putting further strain on the resources in our country and others. the solution is to fix the problems at source. who would have imagined 30 years ago the world would still be in such Sh1te? what in the name of god is going on with there still being wars, civil wars, genocides famines etc? our politician would like us to believe these things are difficult but they really are not. E.G. China tortures it's citizens ? well then stop ALL trade with china, there's is ZERO morals.

fair trade for all countries. i suppose when we have the americans (republicans AND Democrats) largly setting the global agenda since WW2 what hope have we got? looks like they killed their own president(JFK) because he wasn't suiting the permanent deep state there. they dropped two atom bombs on japan. i don't think japan were winning at that point.

people can come on here and argue semantics with me, i'm just some average joe trying to get thru life, but is it too much to ask we have some decent people in charge for a bit ? some fairness across the planet, us all working together ? people are a bit pathetic i guess, we all want to one-up oursleves over the neighbour. christ, how many fellas have boinked their brothers missus ? it's common enough i believe. that's the kind of mentalitiy we have on this planet. i was watching "the critical drinkers" take on things these days in relation to amongst other things, Star trek. When i was a kid, star trek was aspirational, hopeful, people we concerned with achieving, not hoarding money, we had evolved past that in gene roddenberry's world.

now that universe is a pile of dark,depressing dog W*nk(allegedly)... just like how our own is going.

if you look at the last 3 candidates for US pres, you had clinton v trump and trump v biden ? really !!! FFS thats the best they could come up with? it really was turd sandwich v giant douche part 1 and 2. someone like tulsi gabbard doesn't get much of a look in. bad as we're treated in ireland, the us citizen get treated like animals...and we wonder why they seem so violent. no paid parental leave FFS.

green agenda is a farce. when has anyone ever gotten fined for thrown fag butts out of car? littering the streets?? dog fouling ? fly tipping ? why aren't all our house retrofitted (suitbable homes with double cavities) ? why is the government not paying people to knock all these old solid wall, foundation less hovels around the country ? there's people now tryin to sell old houses that you wouldn't keep the dog in for over 100,000 euro. water is undrinkable in many parts around the country. raw sewage being pumped into our waterways. why did we ever ship recycling abroad ? madness. i know very little about farming, but it seems to me that keeping cattle in shed for months over winter is bad for the poor animals. could a field or two not be set aside for them to get out and exercise every day the weather isn't pissing down ?

i seriously doubt that!

Not using enriched fuel means the plant are much bigger and more expensive to build. Look I'm not opposed to nuclear, I just don't think ireland is big enough to justify putting all of our eggs in that basket

Especially when we have abundant offshore renewable wind energy

They are fully entitled to be concerned about their future and protests are a time honoured rite of passage. Such things tend not to do very much most of the time but there is no harm in them being out there reminding those who've made commitments that they have agreed to. 

I think the person with the main focus on her has gone from being mildly interesting with her unusual strikes on Fridays thing to being a run of the mill antagonistic activist. Some of the more recent comments have been less than parliamentary. She's welcome to do so but that now puts her in a position where she is less likely to be taken seriously.  Eyes are now very much on these promises to see how they transpire.

Nothing like the rest of them, posing for a few photos for the family album at best.

The people that could make a difference couldn't be bothered to show up.
