"Green" policies are destroying this country

Doing a bit of overtime for the party today Dacor?

I suppose those press releases need to be pumped far and wide to keep the fear rolling.

The most surprising thing in any of those links is that 85% see a threat to humanity. That's a lot of people hoodwinked by the climate catastrophe narrative.

Heres a question I’ve being wondering:

we are hopefully going to get to 80% renewables by 2030 (highly doubtful if you ask me but anyway), which means fossil fuels (gas) will only be required 20% of the time- so over the year that’s approx 72 days- so what happens to the gas generators for the rest of the year regarding payment to the operators of the gas power station? They will have maintenance costs etc but they’ll have no way to pay for that as they can’t generate electricity- only when renewables aren’t generating- which would be 290 odd days of the year right? 

Or have I got that arseways?

Instead of towing the Green party line, you should read your own press releases. For instance

This is from the Green party that pushed diesel engines and compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs as being green and now pushes wind turbines, solar panels and batteries, all the while engaging in greenlighting of their own by turning a blind eye to slave labour and pollution, including radioactive waste, in the processing of those materials. They really are a party of NIMBYs, if the material is being dug up and processed here they would object, and because they can't see it, their green consciences are clear.

It's not just in Ireland ...

The climate activists launched their own astro-turfing campaign pointing out Californians astro-turfing campaign, this time round it's a comedian with connections to Jamie Henn of fossil free media who was the co-founder and former Strategic Communications Director of 350.org. The campaign against big oil is a front, more broadly it's about imposing their brand of socialism, in the notes are the usual suspects in the USA: 350.org, Sunrise movement, Natural Resources Defense Council. I've said it before and I'll say it again, climate change is a pretext for other agendas, like all the others they use it as a vehicle of convenience for political and economic gain. Follow the links they are like those rings that geocities created back in the day except this time going from one site soliciting donations to the next.

What Many Progressives Misunderstand About Fighting Climate Change

Quite a few disparate groups with failed ideologies have coalesced around the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming meme all with ulterior motives. On the dark green end of the spectrum there are the neo-maltusians, neo-eugenicists and others who see humans as parasites on earth and want the human population reduced, of course they see themselves are enlightened and not subject to their own ideology. Those who rally around the green dollar pushing carbon trading and subsidies which benefit them. The middle of the spectrum who rally under the moniker "climate justice" who see international socialism under the auspices of the UN and income redistribution with power in their hands as members of the enlightened hierarchy, to the light green end of the spectrum that just wants a nice clean safe environment without doing anything but virtue signalling as observed by the late George Carlin " [..] environmentalists don’t give a **** about the planet. Not in the abstract they don’t. You know what they’re interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. They’re worried that some day in the future they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn’t impress me.".

Climate change is vehicle for various sectional interests ranging from socialists pushing their agenda under the guise of climate justice to the financiers pushing carbon trading and subsidies, all combine to extract wealth from less well off people to enrich themselves and their patrons.

It was not the Greens. People still need to heat their homes, smokeless coal and more importantly natural gas displaced coal in cities. That how the smog problem was resolved. That cartoon is backing the point I made, they are using climate change as a vehicle to achieve their idea of “the right thing” … it is amazing how deception is so openly and explicitly called for.

2013: EU policy on climate change is right even if science was wrong, says commissioner

1973: Human Ecology: Problems & Solutions

Paul Ehrlich, Anne Ehrlich, & John Holdren

If those guys had succeeded, we would not have the modern world we know today and billions would not have been lifted out of poverty since the fall of communism.

It is the fear mongering Chicken Littles, the broken record prognostications of doom who are constantly "crying wolf" that defines climate activists. They are not going to make one iota of a difference to climate. All the European Union was doing was importing gas from Russia to make up for the shortcomings of subsidised wind turbines and solar panels. In 2022/23 more coal is burned than when they started.

What of the ideas of the Malthusians, population reduction?, they are still around, this time under the guide of de-development and de-growth (UCD) (alternative to capitalism) and Birthstrike, the movement to end all movements 😁

2015: Forget 'developing' poor countries, it's time to 'de-develop' rich countries

2019: BirthStrikers: meet the women who refuse to have children until climate change ends

2022: Degrowth can work — here’s how science can help

2022: The necessity of ecosocialist degrowth

Lol, are you saying we should follow the money?

Which neo malthusian can compete with 3 billion a day in profits (profits, not revenue)

The data centres don't do computation for climate models. Those are done in supercomputers at universities and state meteorological facilities

It's an old game by activists preying on peoples earnest intentions (see video), set the bait using "climate change " and collect donations to fund your cause. Once you start digging past the front screen of a plethora of climate collection sites, you start encountering the big players and their agendas. Put up a front store, get people to sign the petition, send them a mail soliciting donations. Astro-turfing is exactly what these guys are doing, gathering signatures to make it look like they have large grassroots support, get you on their mailing list with the intention to convert a percentage to paying customers and funnel funds into the big players. It's a wicked scam. Readers should look into 350.org, they were also very active back in 2019 during the Thunberg campaign, they had the same M/O then, put up a front on the web and get people to sign on.

You are the one pretending to care about child labour, but only when it is related to renewable energy. Don't see a word from you about the child labour used in other industries (the vast majority of child labour is not related to raw materials for renewables)

Child labour is a serious problem, but don't go using the plight of these children for your nutty pro-fossil fuel agenda

Theres a bright side though, the greenies are destroyed in Galway for at least a generation judging by the comments.The only positive comments come from a bike fanatic and an unelected green councilman.
