"Green" policies are destroying this country

Nice little rant there yourself, but for all your talk about cherry picking on green policies I cannot recall you voicing any. Far as I can see your very much a bit of a hand waver away of any criticism of their policies.

It appears you do not believe any of the reasons I listed have anything to do with us potentially facing blackouts this Winter due to actions, (and failures to act), by Ryan and the Irish Green Party ?

T.D`s are elected to represent their constituencies. Ministers are appointed by the head of state to act for the good of all, not just their own constituents..

I think you have a very blind spot for the Greens and give them far more credit than they deserve. They are part of a coalition of three and have not had it all their own way. I certainly don't see them as the ruination of lives that some posters imagine, including you it seems.

I've already stated I am happy with our move away from fossil fuels and measures to improve energy efficiency but I would like the MoT to show real improvements in public transport, which is still atrocious nationwide. I don't care for their nutty wing and the inevitable doom-laden messages and threats but that can be ignored anyway.

As for winter power cuts I don't know if they will happen but I genuinely don't care whether they do. If we do get them, we'll adapt, but I won't waste energy brooding in the dark about the Greens nor the why of it. Either way we do need a public information programme to encourage people to be far more energy conscious and to learn the value of jumpers indoors!

We are still here, not one country has disappeared under the waves. The irrational alarmism promulgated by the greens and media has no basis in science either.

The green policies are being dictated by Germany which controls the EU. The Irish establishment always kowtows to the EU and has done since the 1970s. Germany is where the Greens are strongest, and Green parties across Europe take their lead from there. FG are members of the European People's Party (EPP) as are the German CDU. Germany is also home to the Potsdam institute for climate, they are the principle organisation that generates alarm about the gulf stream. From the start media has sensationalised, this cover is from August 1986 Der Speigel (left wing bias). Around this time Chancellor Helmut Kohl played a role in starting this with a commission of enquiry, even UK prime-minister Margaret Thatcher towards the end of her reign expressed interest in the subject.

The Secret History of Climate Alarmism (2010)

Whatever the Germans strategic intentions were, it has now bitten them hard, and being the pre-eminent country within the EU, a collapse in Germany also takes down the EU as it stands. Whether President Macron of France can take advantage of this is the question.

I don`t believe that the timing of Mscron`s announcement of France`s future nuclear intentions was accidental. France had been getting a lot of flax from Germany on nuclear right up until Germany`s own strategy hit the skids.

If there is one thing that can be said about the French, it`s that they enjoy their revenge best when served cold.

As a government minister what has he, or indeed his party, with their cuts to Irish cattle numbers achieved that is beneficial to the Irish economy or global emissions?

Reading comprehension classes may be needed. That 1989 article said we needed to reverse the warming trend by 2000 or risk losing island nations. It didn't say nations would be submerged by 2000.

No scientific paper of note predicted that any nation would be unihabitable by 2022 due to rising seas.

It's a slow moving car crash where we're pretty much already committed to some damage but we are rapidly approaching the point where it's too late to avoid the worst consequences.

Ryan is the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications

Environmental protection and climate action are under his remit as well as energy and natural resources. He needs to balance his responsibility for climate and the environment with overseeing the energy sector.

Granting oil or gas or LPG licences are not compatible with climate action in the long term. Ireland has a climate action plan. Ryan is working according to this plan.

Gladly.

The green party opposing CETA then voting for CETA while in govt mysteriously! (dont tell me there were no pay offs) with their leader Eamon Ryan saying suddenly it's great. ( i don't have anything against CETA btw i don't think it gives oil companies any more power than they have but that is a separate issue. ). THEN individual members of the green party use public money to sue the govt that they are IN. With this CRACKPOT idea that the deal was unconstitional of course its just to garner to their supporters and has no chance and THEY KNOW and they waste more public money.

Eamon Ryan also gave his brothers a state contract without any tendering process. The company is called medmark.

MedMark is a gun for hire.

Their business is not a very palatable one.

The behaviour of medmark during covid was disgusting.

They basically told teachers exposed to covid to come to work.

Bear in mind this is a company owned by Ryan's brother that was given this contract ..just given it ..no tendering process NOTHING while his brother was in govt.

They were putting kids at risk ON the public purse given to them by the directors brother.

Ciaran Cuffe 2003 had shares in 6 oil companies, but they were just resting in his account😅

You'll need to do better than that. One 'green' maybe having some undisclosed oil shares at some point doesn't make the green party corrupt.

You'd have to show that this person was voting in support of that oil company. And then it would be bizarre to conflate this with 'the green party' because it implies that the greens are shills for the Oil industry
