Monday December 11, 2017 21:28 by foie - Friends of Irish Environment
Press Release - Friends of the Irish Environment - 10th Dec 2017 “All eyes will now be on what unfolds in Ireland.” The legal challenge was brought at the end of October ex-parte (one side appearing only) by the environmental group Friends of the Irish Environment [FIE]. It alleges that the National Mitigation Plan—one of the main planks in the Government’s climate change policy—does not do enough to reduce Ireland’s greenhouse gas emissions and is a violation of the 2015 Paris Agreement, Ireland’s Climate Act, the Irish Constitution and human rights obligations. |

Jump To Comment: 2 1Cows fart. That's a farm fact. In India, they have millions of sacred cows, which the Hindu population for religious reasons avoids killing and eating. However, cow patties are diligently collected and used in two ways in hundreds of villages:- a) as compost, or when dried, as fuel for the fire when cooking. b) as fuel for methane digesters, often made of cement and sometimes from plastic, that supply methane gas for use in cooking. Here are a couple of links. Let Irish boffins, including some who work for Teagasc, research the possibilities of recycling unwanted cow dung instead of letting it percolate downwards into the water table. Who knows, but some farting cows may make their owners smile/smell all the way to the bank.

Our economy is based on agriculture. Agriculture produces methane. In other words, cows fart! All this does is give the EU an excuse to lump more huge fines on us for what our economy needs to do in order to function as an agricultural economy. Aren't every man woman and child on the Island paying EU scum enough money for their bank gambling debts already without paying them more just for being allowed to farm??
We need to change the very core of our economy to reduce this methane. But how do we do that exactly?? We have little else to offer except tourism and tax scams for US corporations. Our own students are just doing the EU's dirty work for them. What useful idiots! Why not focus on the greenhouse gases produced by useless US wars instead? Sue those mad fuckers for bombing burning and killing innocent people instead of sueing your own people for growing food!!
