Image: Peter Byrne/PA Images Image: Peter Byrne/PA Images PRESIDENT MICHAEL D Higgins has said that the Irish State must “lead by example if it is to have any credibility, any realistic hope of bringing its citizens with it on the difficult journey to a decarbonised future”.
He said: “We cannot continue with the mere placing of a green lens on economic policies… policies that have failed manifestly and are continuing to cause damaging ecological impacts.” It should be “framed around the three implicit goals of welfare states: redistribution, social consumption and social investment and characterised by gender equality, income redistribution, a reconfigured social consumption”.Higgins emphasised the “huge and potentially very positive” role the State can play in all of these policy decisions, despite policies in recent decades having an adverse effect.
I see the State leading in climate action, setting an example on climate mitigation, resilience and adaptation. The Irish State must lead by example if it is to have any credibility, any realistic hope of bringing its citizens with it on the difficult journey to a decarbonised future.
Usual climateclaptrap from a deluded Communist on the same day our freedoms are taken way for the second time this year and our country's slow implosion continues.
What a Neck
Sounds like communism to me.
With a house that size surely you would have to have some skeletons in your closets. Fully paid member of the elf preservation society, doesn't give 2 sh1tes about Ireland or the irish.
He has two beamers, a leerjet and lives in an almost empty palace. Radical impertinence is all you get from that poison toadstool.
It's not new, Communism has been tried many times and failed every time, killing millions. Ya can feck off. Who does this man think he is?
Airports closed, less traffic then ever, bars, shops closed the last 7 months. What has been the results of pollution analysis? If it's good, then do they want us to become cavemen.
Has the President anything better to speak about at this time.!!!Perhaps he could ask the Irish people to buy Irish if buying on line or buy local for Christmas etc...more useful words as president..Talking about climate on the eve of a 6 weeks lockdown shows a man out of touch!
Socialism can change the weather. So says our hobbit president. Just don't look for details on the 'how' part.
AKA The Great Reset. This is the endgame of this 'virus' outbreak. It may sound strange to some but this virus is about changing your behaviour for Climate Change. You are being led around by authoritarians.
Will he redistribute any of his income?
Why the fuck would he not approve,it's doesn't effect this champagne socialite in anyway.
Wow he's really trying to ruin that nice image he had. Get fucked
Bloody rich coming from a 'man' who's driven around in 7 series BMW's. He's a champagne socialist.
Socialists don’t understand economics otherwise they wouldn’t be socialists. He might want to pipe down in the face of our current problems
3x homes to heat..2x BMW 7/5 series..Radical 😉
Tell him to get to fcuk 👍👍👍👊
More of the same from our esteemed President - his brand of socialism hasn’t worked before so why would it again?.
Is that the new economics where we all have a gold plated state pension? Is this the ''socialist'' who earns 6 times the average wage? Has several pensions which he collects?
Out of touch with real Ireland.
Shorthand 4 socialism, as adored by radicalised activists in the UnitedNations and ExtinctionRebellion who've already stated their intention of deliberately transforming the global economic system in order to implement SDGs and Agenda2030 NewNormal
He has no business preaching communism under the guise of 'climate action'as representative of the irish people. we do not want this. Remember this man has taken a lavish salary off the state his entire life and never created a cent of wealth. A typical caviar commie. Fire him!
Higgins advocating the destruction of the economy and people's lives over one hoax bigger than the other.
