There's a climate emergency, so cough up, say insurers. It hasn't stopped them raking in billions, notes Chris Morrison. And no wonder: weather losses are actually down compared to 35 years ago. Time for a bit of honesty?

Is democracy dying? That's what everyone is saying. Killed by populism, apparently. Prof James Alexander suspects the educated classes may not know what they're talking about.

Ireland Mobilises against War in Iraq

category national | anti-war / imperialism | feature author Tuesday January 28, 2003 02:54author by IMC Editorial Group - IMC Ireland Report this post to the editors

Is Irish neutrality dead? Much material being published on Indymedia Ireland at present focuses on the buildup to a war on Iraq, the Peace Camp at Shannon Airport and various forms of anti-war organising in the leadup to a national demonstration on 15th Febuary in Dublin.

Anti-war meetings have been held or are planned at Galway, Sligo, Limerick, Wexford, Dublin, Dun Laoghaire, Rathmines, Ballymun, Fairview, Maynooth and UCD while the anti-war film 'Paying the Price - Killing the Children' is being shown at Lahinch and Tuamgraney in Co. Clare. A Walk for Peace from Bunratty Castle to Shannon is also planned.

Opposition to the war and to the use of Shannon airport by American forces is also growing among politicians as Labour, the Green Party, and Republican Sinn Fein have come out strongly against American use of Shannon. A Dáil Private Members' Motion on on the use of Shannon Airport by US Military has also been tabled and unions have put forward their own anti-war motion from IAWM.

Meanwhile a Muslim leader in transit to the US has been jailed in Shannon, and the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior has blockaded a UK military port.
