The EU is pushing for significant deregulation, under the guise of "simplification". They are planning to chip away at one vital environmental law at a time. Once lost, these protections rarely return.

In the absence of urgency, only thing changing is our weather Ireland not immune to destructive events causing havoc around the world

"Another sad milestone in a very long series of milestones…We have ever-increasing evidence that Ireland’s climate is changing in pretty profound ways...but there is a complete lack of political will to enact those solutions at the speed and scale required" www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

Ireland set for more extreme weather as climate data points to worsening trends European analysts register 11-year streak of temperature records with warning of more to come

Yet another stark warning about the impact of climate change which is accelerating. Last year was the third hottest on record with increasing fossil fuel pollution behind the temperatures. As temperatures warm extreme weather events get more extreme & more frequent www.irishtimes.com/environment/...
