"Green" policies are destroying this country

At least a bottle can be reused if so wished, a can, even though recyclable, is single use.

As I've alluded to before, its needless consumerism thats is contributing to emissions increasing as much if not more than anything else.

Where? Ireland? 😂😂

Think someone’s pissing on us and telling us it’s rain tbh.

Here are my thoughts. Is the climate warming slightly due to human emissions? Very likely yes.

But there's two very important questions that follows that. 1) who is actually causing this? As in what group of humans and 2) are the consequences really that bad?

Answer to 1) is that it's mostly China and a group of large third world countries that have caused it. China's emissions have tripled in the last 15 years and they emit more than US, EU and Japan combined. By contrast, the emissions from Germany are actually 40% below 1990 levels. So you see what a con it is to guilt europe to reduce even more while China just carries on increasing. We can say for certain that the group of people NOT to blame are the Irish farmers.

For question 2) I think there's way too little consensus on the consequences. They could well be very mild, hardly noticeable. Weather events are getting picked up and sensationalized by a globalized 24 hour media. 40 years ago we simply wouldn't have known about wild fires etc in Canada but they would have happened.

Whatever Eamon Ryan is doing ... it's not working. The only worry is that he'll try even harder to wreck the country as his masterplan continues to fail. Good thing our emissions don't matter a flying fig in the grand scheme of things. From the Biz Post:

$1bn is f-all to china. Think more like $1trn..

Reports are worthless. When does the metal go on the ground?

The standard practice is to have a lot of people complaining about high energy costs on tv and then put the blame entirely on evil energy companies taking profits. The grid operators are then further blamed for not supplying enough system capacity to facilitate the Green Way. The government is then blamed for not doing enough for ordinairy people which will be countered by politicians going on about how much they have already done but 'more needs to be done and they are tackling it'.Then usually some bojo comes out saying we all need to make sacrifices in order to make the green dream possible and more stringent (read top down) measures should be taken especially in light of you know, the weather. Future blackouts and kinks in the system will be entirely blamed on the evil energy providers. (Ive seen it again and again. Yesterday on the BBC. They were also highlighting people dying of, and here's a new word, 'boiling temperatures'. Well, yeah, how about subsidies for air conditioning? But no, you have to install expensive green equipment instead and combat Co2).

In no way the obvious really important causes will be highlighted, artificial inflation tied to blocking of hydro carbon facilities and green subsidies and a giant debt pile caused by 'quantative easing' which makes it look Ireland is doing fine.

Something HAS to change. The system has to change starting with halting the Green Way. The transition is causing real destruction.
