Ali Sheridan GIVEN THE PAINFULLY slow progress of climate action in Ireland to date, criticism of recently announced commitments is understandable. Dilution of climate ambition has been witnessed repeatedly from our leaders as challenges have arisen such as the financial crash, Brexit, Covid-19, and many others.
And that we have lost critical time in addressing the climate challenge and blocked many of the easier paths we could have taken.So, it is not unexpected that some are already writing off our ability to hit our climate targets. However, recent national discourse about carbon budgets and sectoral targets has indicated a waking up of Irish society to the necessity of the climate transition ahead, and indeed the scale.
While daunting, we are in a situation that should give us license to be more creative, courageous, and confident to move forward with climate action at a pace like never before.Yet, for all our plans and pledges, strategies, and summits, we are already behind schedule and signs are emerging of more delay.
What we today call climate action must only be the preamble to the radical change that needs to happen. We must quickly acknowledge the limits of business-as-usual climate action and start to rapidly roll out the solutions we know work, being open to getting things moving as soon as possible, and improving them as we go.

To delay climate action due to these difficult challenges is to create false choices and to delay hardship. We have a chance to finally do things differently, and start addressing everything through a climate lens, creating measures that support those who need it while also ensuring we have a stable climate, a future.
Counterpoint: The world ISN'T ending. Embrace modernity & prosperity. Reject millenarian apocalypse cults.

Already too late. We’re in damage limitation mode now.
Climate expert 😂😂😂😂
Climate change scam is a front for a powerful anti-human (misanthropic) movement. Puzzling and worrying that so many campaign against their own species. Even more puzzling that most people are unaware of the danger their policies pose to human life.
This lady isn’t a climate expert. You can refer to her as one but that doesn’t make it so.

And the journal returns with more propaganda.
By 'flying kites' they mean energy inflation and destruction of farming so as to import from Argentina and Brazil. No humility ever. The team that gave Europe the Russian gas problem rolls on
