Ireland’s take on Climate Change
Posted on 7/11/19 at 8:05 am
Posted on 7/11/19 at 8:05 am
I’m in Ireland visiting on holiday from US. Have been to Dublin, Waterfront, Kilkenny, Galway, Belfast.
Been doing a heavy amount of driving on the country side. Irish radio personalities talk every single break about climate change.
It’s such a big topic everywhere I go here. Passed by a mountain down on the southern front that had “RIP Fossil Fuels” spray painted on it for drivers on the highway to see.
This promoted me to read up an old article from the Irish Times dated last year. And holy frick does it suck to be in the EU, it’s a straight money grab.
Ireland, like the other nation states, has a committable goal of 16% renewable energy by 2020. The author states Ireland is far from that and it could see at minimum fines of 200 million Euros at maximum 600 million Euros.
(This is just one fine of many others if you don’t hit climate change goals).
Where in the frick does that money go?
In the article it also mentions building 100,000 new homes that are ‘carbon free’. Wonder who is getting the contracts on those houses.
I’m generally concerned about these fines and how that might look here in the US.
We also never hear about who the CEOs are of these green/renewable companies and their ties to government officials. Both here and abroad.

What’s fascinating is that the “climate journalists” and “climate alarmist politicians” are so much more hyperbolic and hysterical about climate change than THE IPPC REPORT and THE SCIENTISTS who wrote it.
The IPPC does NOT conclude that there is evidence to link extreme weather event trends (hurricanes, floods, fires, droughts) to climate change. And the DATA shows that there is no change in the trends.

So what are they using to build the structure? Cause last I checked both wood and steel have carbon in them.

As Tucker Carlon says, they don't submit proposals to address climate change that don't exert control over your life and increase their power.
If reducing CO2 was the goal, they'd start earmarking billions for trees yesterday. They haven't. Their goal is to reduce CO2 while impacting and controlling their enemies. It's as simple as that.
Seriously. We have 12 years? Well then start trading every Republican goal for billions in trees. Trump wants a wall? Okay but only if he spends twice as much on trees. Is building a wall not worth destroying the entire planet? Of course it is. But that shows you deep down none of them actually think the planet is about to be destroyed. They think their world view is all that matters, and they will lie to themselves to achieve it.

You sound like you'd make a good journalist.

Unfortunately, lovely Erie has been cuckiefied big time, from the top on down.

I'm in Europe quite a bit, and it's the same on the Continent, probably worse. The whole bunch has climate derangement.

Which isn't really that impressive. It's higher than that in the U.S.

Actually you’re wrong. The severity of hurricanes, floods, fires and droughts have decreased substantially since the late 1800s even while CO2 emissions have increased.

Of course, you’re correct!
But what I meant to say that is there were no trends CORRELATED to CO2 emissions! Unless inverse correlation counts!

You still don't understand. If we ban carbon it will spur innovation. It's like in WWII when we ran out of silk for parachutes and scientists invented nylon or something.
Well, when we ban wood and steel scientists will invent another thing to build houses with, silly.
