"Green" policies are destroying this country

Careful incase you fall off your high horse there Dudley . I raised the issue of fumes first and btw it’s not just NOX there’s particulate matter also which includes unburnt hydrocarbons, rubber and plastic particulates from tyres and brake dust. Water is also a byproduct of internal combustion but I wouldn’t be putting a glass under an exhaust to get a drink nor pour it into my pot plants 🪴.

The whole the 2+2 makes 7 argument that the greens designed the cars, built the cars and somehow convinced every other western government to switch polices to focus diesels is quiet frankly LUDICROUS.

I just had to make a post script edit to include this gem 💎 ⬇️

@JRant said “ CO2 is also food for plants and crops,” ⚙️

FYI crops are plants, just sayin 🤷‍♂️

Is it not allegedly that green fella oisin / his buddy through the friends of the irish environment who is objecting to trees being thinned / pruned but also harvested and planted

And then the minister has interpreted the environmental impact to extend to distances of 20km or more from the proposed boundary of forest so the entire industry is being attacked from all sides meanwhile they continue to talk diarrhoea about increasing forest cover

So the upshot is we will be getting very little for the investment. Sounds like a Green Idea alright.

Monkeys swinging from tree to tree don’t use outboard motors. Have you not heard of the bear necessities. 🙈

You are missing a core concept. The majority of forestry planted since 1946 and before is commercial softwood. Yes the sequester CO2 but when there cut and the roots are ripped up that CO2 goes back into the atmosphere. That’s why hardwood plantations are being pushed and why farmers are to be paid to maintain them rather then cut them down.

If there easily provable then prove them.

So you open up by saying, @[Deleted User] said “ Nonsense.

Roots are not ripped up” and then you go onto say, “ Some roots are lifted out” ie ripped out. I have seen forestry areas being butchered by tracked excavators after felling and I’ve done a fare amount of differing in my time.

Ive also tramped through many forests in my time after cattle, sheep, rallies, both private and coillte and I’ve yet to battle through 10m 10Km ditches but I have twisted my ankles on rotting uprooted stumps.

Thinnig out woodlands is done for commercial reasons the idea is you leave them in the ground.

Below is a piece on fascism before you start throwing that term about read it and just briefly point out what make the Green Party fascists.

It’s clear enough that you don’t understand the core philosophical concepts to comment in any capacity 🤷‍♂️
