Why are our workers being punished?” Carol Nolan TD for Offaly hits out at Government climate policy which she says is devastating jobs in the midlands region. She asks why rural workers and rural Ireland are being adversely affected by a government implementing populist policies. Nolan says the announcemnet came as a huge shock to […]
It’s often been said that climate alarmism has all the trappings of a conspiracy theory. It’s an idea that is held with such cult-like devotion, that no amount of contrary evidence will ever persuade its devotees that they might be wrong. It doesn’t matter if their predictions fail constantly; they are so wedded to their […]
Thousands of Dutch farmers have descended on The Hague in their tractors after new rules were implemented to clamp down on nitrogen emissions from the agriculture sector
Lewis Hamilton is, by any measure, one of the most successful sportsmen of our age. Formula One is not, sadly, the most popular sport in Ireland, and so it is easy not to appreciate the sheer genius in his fingertips when he sits behind a wheel, and few who are not fans will comprehend the […]
Our colleagues in the rest of the Irish media have adopted an approach to covering extinction rebellion which can at best be described as friendly, and at worst be described as outright propaganda. This article in the Irish Independent over the weekend certainly falls into the latter category. The fear is that asking hard questions […]
One of the problems that the Green movement has is that every so often it has to tell the truth about what it actually wants. This doesn’t happen very often, of course – most of the time they get away unchallenged with benign sermons about the new green economy and a just transition and how […]
The left’s embrace of climate change as a central part of its platform is in some ways a curious marriage.

The Marxist oriented or originated left has […]

In an unexpected development, the prestigious peer-reviewed journal Nature has retracted a study published last year which claimed that oceans were warming faster than expected due to climate change, and that the rate at which warming was happening was accelerating. Campaigners had seized on the October 2018 study by researchers at the University of California, San Diego’s Scripps Institution […]
“We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!” These were the spirited words of Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg in her address last week to the United Nations. Miss Thunberg’s claim that we are “in the beginning […]
A funny thing about the way the Irish media conducts its business is that it is perfectly capable of talking about two separate issues without ever allowing a connection to be drawn between the two, in case people might draw the right wrong conclusions. In Ireland now, the media is completely convinced of two things: […]
If you search the website of the Irish Times for the phrase “Peak Oil” you will find that it appears only once in 2019, in a motoring column, and only then as a throwaway comparison to the Chinese car industry. It is the first time the phrase has appeared in Ireland’s most august newspaper since […]
