Thank you very much Diarmuid, glad you enjoyed my book and really appreciate your feedback.

Joe, I get to do exactly what I like, as of course do you. I don’t owe you squat and yes, you’re coming off like a crank, including attempts at sarcasm. I have no interest in continuing to engage, so please take a hint and leave me alone.

For sure. By any measure, SF is at least as regressive on environmental issues as FFG, so that’s where we’re at politically, alas.

Thanks for your feedback Joe. Let’s leave it at that. I’m sure we both have better things to do than this.

Good luck sourcing committed, courageous leadership in the current Dáil.

If you’re low income as you say & in a cold old house you’re probably eligible for a full retrofit, free of charge, funded by…carbon taxes. But now that carbon tax has been killed, bang goes your free retrofit & instead let’s just keep burning stuff till the climate collapses and we’re all stuffed.

That’s your opinion Joe, and you’re as entitled to it as anyone else is to theirs.

“dead dog factory” Lol.

Likewise. It was precious.

Let’s see.

Ireland & Council of the EU are pushing the 'Omnibus' proposal that will increase pesticide risks to the public and nature. Scientists have been ringing the alarm but the politicians pushing it —Fine Gael (EPP) and Fianna Fáil (Renew)—would rather listen to chemicals & agri-food industry lobbyists.

For sure.

Always slightly sceptical of folks who can’t spell ‘hypocrisy’

Thanks Adrian.

Ideally, yes, but electricity is so much more efficient than ICE there are gains anyway

Another short clip here.
