It is clear that the leftist greenies are simply insane. There is no logic or reasoning that can justify the save the planet activists, and there is no logic or reasoning that can even discuss the fallacies of their beliefs with them. The leftists are seeking more power because they like power and control. They make bad decisions, but that’s consistent with their insanity.
Irina, once again your excellent research, insight and wit leave me speechless for disturbing reasons!
As someone who highly values accuracy and reporting, this stood out in my mind --
“This article was amended on 5 May 2021 to change a reference to 200 million tons of cat waste to the correct figure - 200 thousand tons.”
Yes, 200 million or 200 thousand... what's the difference? Just three zeroes; and three zeroes when added up comes to zero; so the author feels that he can fabricate such figures in the original article and later add a 'correction' that few people will see. The initial damage is done with the first publication and the shock that the false figures engenders, and the author very well knows that.
As far as I know the only significant CO2 sink on the planet is the oceans. The carbon is bound up in the calcium carbonate in shell fish, barnacles and coral. Of course this is inconvenient for humans who destroy reefs to create “islands”.
Let them chop....nature will grow them back faster. Their model of scarcity requires perpetual funding and warfare against the default mode of life on this planet: abundance!
Thank you Irina. There is a health upside to all this: whereas alcohol or recreational drugs used to be needed to achieve near-complete detachment from reality, now one just has to read the news.
As always a great article - and your tongue was very much in cheek on this one!
PETA is wanting more of the limelight I see, and I would be on their bad person/she/her/it list. My pets and horses are going no where! Wonder how much methane a horse emits - I can verify scientifically from personal experience when braiding tails - quite a bit.
Ireland - getting rid of their cows while they import their beef from Brazil... well that makes perfect sense! Offshoring is the name of the game these days! But given the choice Irish beef would be so much better - good green grass!
My dream of going back to Ireland to live if things got bad here in the US has been dashed. That dream of the little cottage on the cliff overlooking the Atlantic is long gone. They would burn me at the stake for being a witch for speaking out against the establishment! You can never go home!
Strange world indeed! Wonder what the average is of insane people to sane? Or stupid or not so stupid?
Yes. I visited Ireland in the late 80s and have always thought it might be a nice place to retire to. Until these last few years. Similarly with Canada.
I'm really sad for the Irish farmers and for what's happening there in general. Same with Canada and the UK -- once upon a time a dream relocation destination for Eastern Europeans and now I couldn't be happier I stayed here.
I know! People should just stop working cuz clearly moving around in any way produces carbon dioxide exhalation and emissions by vehicles. That way when there is no more money to fuel these nutters think tanks and grants for stupid experiments maybe the totalitarians will fucknoff and leave us alone since all their time will be needed for foraging for fuel and food for their own basic survival.
Carbon dioxide: bad. No carbon dioxide: good. Conclusion: Kill yourself to save the planet, whoever "he" or "she" is. This is self-sacrifice for the sake of self-sacrifice.
I can relate. I was more than a little angry when I read that stupid story from the Independent. There was another in CNN, too, but I didn't want to raise people's blood pressure too much. It is an ongoing campaign against mammalian pets.
I have a better idea: have all those anti-pet individuals sacrifice themselves for dog and cat food. It's a win-win.
If we cut all the trees down, there won't be any wind. It's obvious that wind is caused by the trees flapping their branches. Proof -have you ever seen any wind when the trees weren't waving their branches?
That's why there's no wind on the moon - there aren't any trees on the moon.
Thank you!
CO2 is essential to humanity- what don’t the “environmental hall monitors” understand

What's a factor of 1,000.....among friends?
Exactly! It's not even remotely subtle.

Good point.
Thank you Irina. There is a health upside to all this: whereas alcohol or recreational drugs used to be needed to achieve near-complete detachment from reality, now one just has to read the news.
Ha! How true.
:D :D :D And we don't need standup comedy any more.

Maybe governments around the world should remember what Mike Tyson said: “Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face.”
Around the world, reality is punching governments and activists in the face, and it SO entertaining !
Yes, and they keep taking the punches and looking for more fight with reality.
I know! People should just stop working cuz clearly moving around in any way produces carbon dioxide exhalation and emissions by vehicles.

NO ONE will come and take my dogs away. They won't make it through the door.
Take my dogs, was a little angry.

A fabulous idea.

Is that like the traffic circles causing tornadoes?
Thanks Irina, absolutely brilliant as usual! Your articles should be compulsory reading for our Westminster MPs.
Thank you! As for your compulsory reading suggestion, I'm flattered but I wouldn't want to outrage anyone. :D
Fine piece again, Irina. Love your style! Brave New World isn't it?
Thank you! Yes, Brave New World, indeed.
