Environment and Climate Change

[Forceuser]

Interesting that you mention trees, Our FF FG G gov are prepping to sell massive tracts of public land to a GB investment Co in order to do tree planting on an industrial scale, wont do a damn thing to reduce carbon emmissions for 30 yrs.
The deal could lock lots of local farmers from getting into forrestry. We need climate justice. not the privatisation of our land.

not sure if this is the same thing you're talking about,but according to these articles
grants for landowners to plant are part of the scheme

we do sell off far too much of our national assets to foreign investors

Wait till we sell off the obvious wind power gold mine on our west coast, we could be the Saudis of the renewable energy age and we’ll flog it off for a pittance

isn't the rain forests usually a huge topic regarding enviroment and climate change?

I can honestly say I've never heard of any mention of it in any debate or talk.

Speaking of, remember last year or the year before the EU signed a beef deal or something with Brazil? Yup, that's more of the Amazon that's going to be flattened!

As others have mentioned as well about our national assets, just look at Ireland on Google maps. Look at the coverage of forests we have in comparison to other countries, even Britain. It's pathetic, the amount of national park coverage we have, for the so-called 'Emerald Isle' as well.

Rain forest will be flattened to rear cattle from.which the beef will be imported here while our farmers who have perfectly good fields already are expected to cut their herds . All to save the planet . The holy trinity that we have running this country are some muppets Eamon Ryan does have more than a passing resemblance to Beaker

Some things true but the most of it one sided green agenda . Similar to any media coverage of a lot of industries including the sex industry

What are peoples thoughts on these Environmentalists?

I think they are communists and that it is all about control rather than protecting the environment.
They want to take everything off the average people so that only the elite have stuff.
Under the guise of reducing emissions they want to take people's cars off them, stop them leaving an area, take their land etc.
A fast approaching climate change disaster is a tool they are using to get us to accept all this change so that we will own nothing and be happy.

The greens where elected with such a small minority. We are talking about about a tiny amount of people in total. It is a disgrace that they have been given so much power. They are determined to plunge half the population into poverty for there ideals. They are Stalinists and are doing untold harm to this state.
