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. There has always been a pastoral rural element on the left which was suspicious of growth, but that tended to be either anarchist or agrarian populist in nature. 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 […]
I confess I find this one a little hard to write about because there are, and should be, at least two conflicting emotions when watching this. On the one hand: She is clearly distressed, and not faking it. Whether you agree with her or not, she passionately believes what she is saying. On the other […]
In the same week as the much-hyped Climate Strike came the revelation that just 18% of Irish people support the idea of increasing carbon tax in the next Budget.

I don’t know really why you’re headed to work today, or why all those Irish Times columnists and Greenpeace activists […]
Experts have said more and more children are being treated for “eco-anxiety”, as parents are warned to avoid “terrifying” their children with talk of a climate catastrophe.
The world-famous psychologist told his female listeners to “bring a child into the world” anyway, despite the claims of some that having children detrimentally impacts on the environment.
