If he shut his mouth now again would sort out a lot of them
According to the EU’s own figures, Ireland contributes 0.09% of the world’s man-made CO2 emissions. A fraction of a percent. While the bigger economies do nothing you have to ask is it really worth is carrying these actions now in a cost of living crisis until we get full buy in from the likes of China Brazil and America. We’re effectively pissing in the wind here.
Is it just me or has the climate change dialogue reaaaally ramped up over the last few weeks.
Please fuck off Eamonn Ryan. You’re absolute pants
amazing how consistently rubbish annoyance “greens” are throughout the world.
You realise that being forced to change the way you live is just so massive corporations don’t have to do anything. The sooner people realise this the better.
ryan is just another WEF criminal like the rest.. downvote me all you want.. just sayin
If only there was some reliable 70 year old tech the likes of France and Finland use that produces no co2 and is 6x as reliable as wind when it comes to producing electricity for same price

yes we do face big challenged. What can we do about that? Vote.
Vote for memebers of government who actively advocate for change. Do research and look for people who are aiming to place regulations on big corporations in Ireland. Place mandates for them to run on greener power, like changing from fossil fuels to electric. The food industry should be restricted in how much they can produce along with taking any actions they can to reduce their emissions. Look for those who push for improved public transport and subsidise rewards for bike to work schemes and the likes. Incentivise others to stop using their cars as much.
Have people who will place quotas on companies to achieve a certain reduction in emissions per year, aim to set a standard for yearly reduction. that way will keep their emissions in check and hit those who are causing the most harm.
Get people who want to invest in solar technologies, the more these technologies are invested in the faster they reach the market and cheaper they become. The more that is invested into technologies such as solar power, then the more research can be carried out on them, therein improving them and increasing their commonality, making them cheaper for the average person and business.
Pressure those in government, ensure they follow through on their claims. Mail local td’s on what’s expected, make your voice heard through social media. Hold politicians accountable for their actions. Ultimately they’re the ones we rely on for change, but only if we as the people keep them in check. We can’t allow them to do as they please. The court of public opinion is a powerful tool.
We as individuals have an insignificant influence on global warming. The amount of emissions a person will make in their life equates to about 1 second of emissions from global industry. However if we as a country can put people into power who will make the changes we want to see, then we as a country can set an example for other countries to follow. That’s how change will come about. Not by individual contributions of living a greener life, but by as a country holding the biggest culprits accountable and making them change their ways for the better.
Would it not be better to focus on our environment in terms of what we see and live in rather than intangible things like carbon omissions. Pay farmers for rewilding and planting native trees and hedgerows to bring our declining wildlife back. Move towards regenerative farming. Give grants to private landowners for food forests and habitat restoration. Reduce pesticide use commercially and outright ban for public use. Focus on reducing river pollution from farms and industries runoff by coordinating inland waterways and local authorities. Greater government support for wildlife organisations. Increase enforcement for littering and illegal dumping including public awareness campaigns, increase budgets for councils in litter collection. All of these, and similar things would get far greater support from all sectors of society, would not be detrimental to people’s livelihoods and might change the whole country’s attitude towards the environment from what it is currently; a devisive political and capatalist debate.
