THE Green Party's climate change reforms look set to be fast-tracked into law ahead of the general election after publication of the long-awaited bill just two days before Christmas....frpa

... The Environmental Protection Agency reported an 8% drop in emissions last year, largely due to the economic downturn...

This should take care of any economic recovery and lower the emissions even more by cause economic chaos in the land of the leprechauns.

They will hit the point where pollution will skyrocket because poor countries can't afford to take care of the environment.

The Irish have a thing for Green!

Beam me to Planet Gore !

Didn’t these guys just vote to default on their debt recently? Something like that. Don’t these Irish ever learn? Plus, ND Football teams suck lately.

That would tend to cause a general rise in temperatures in my universe.

"However, Friends of the Earth (FOE) said there is scope for thousands of jobs to be created in research and development, retrofitting homes for energy-efficiency, and renewable power generation."

It's the same crap story all around the globe: "Green will save us all!"

All while the UK and most of Europe is seeing the coldest winter in decades (and on record for some locations).

Funny how God has a way of making people who think they are so wise, look like fools.

They might as well call this the “Food Control Act”, because growing all that food in Ireland is harming the environment. But don’t worry, because it will create *thousands* of jobs of digging up and burning plants.

Their cause is to destroy wealth. achievement, freedom.

“All while the UK and most of Europe is seeing the coldest winter in decades (and on record for some locations).”

Reality is of no concern to these fools!

“However, Friends of the Earth (FOE) said there is scope for thousands of jobs to be created in research and development, retrofitting homes for energy-efficiency, and renewable power generation.”

In other words, bureaucratic and government subsidized “jobs”.

These guys think you create jobs by legislating them.

The way you create jobs is by creating an environment that rewards profits and income.

There is no businessman that ever starts a business because he wants to create jobs!! Jobs are a byproduct of profits.

The climate is always changing, always has been changing.

[Tax-chick]

Ireland ping. Who’s running their government, Bill and Ted? EPIC STUPID.

"The Environmental Protection Agency reported an 8% drop in emissions last year, largely due to the economic downturn..."

The moronic majority still won't see the significance of that while ingesting more stupidity from their televisions.

[Free_at_last_-2001]

This should take care of any economic recovery... - this is the point, the Irish (or West Germans as they are now known) have been duped by Europe gave away their country after 87 years, will be giving up the low corporation tax soon which will drive away foreign investment. I was in Ireland before Christmas and they are blissfully unaware of the situation still support the EU and seem unaware of the socialist take over and even seem to be in support of it. Nothing a good famine wouldn't sort out!

They got to be fast tracked, before people start noticing that its cold there
