Well ,
Hitler made 'Man of the year 1938'
I just dont see how we can ever hit the carbon targets were supposed to , theres 100,000 extra EU citizens in Ireland since 2015 and it seems like inward migration is a big part of this governments plan to grow the economy ,
The carbon taxes will disproportionately hit rural poor people , meanwhile industry can run full steam ahead pollute all it wants and pay little or nothing in tax . How much the government pollutes on behalf of each one of us here in Ireland is not quite as much per head as in the US ,but its not far off either . My town has gone from 2000 to almost 20,000 in the last 40 years , the issue of raw sewage discharge is worse now than anytime previous despite a new treatment plant , and millions in pipe works ,in a storm rain and sewage mixes and hundreds of thousands of gallons of grey water is discharged just next to a playground and skate/amenity park , in a bad rain storm Ive actually seen it bubbling up out of the ground , this situation is common in many coastal towns all over the country .
Water infrastructure is out of date ,health system runs at 110% capacity all the time , our own are being medicated out of existance to make way for more efficient carbon units with much lower expectations .
I did catch a snippet of Greta's speech , the behavioural adjustment reference was a bit spooky , I'd say their fitting her up for a dictatorship role alright ,children should'nt have to be fighting wars of the worlds , politics is f**ked now anyway big data and how we use the internet/social media is to blame.
you stole my punchline Pucho ;D
