Why are climate alarmists so impervious to facts, so averse to rational cost-benefit analysis? It has all the hallmarks of a religious cult, says James Allan. They can't let it go because it gives meaning to their lives.

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?

Saoránaigh agus Dualgasaí

category national | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Wednesday July 16, 2003 15:37author by Seán Report this post to the editors

AN DRAOI RUA discusses the merits of a citizen as opposed to the attitude of a consumer and the roles that people take within society. This piece was inspired by Scott Ritter, the American ex-arms inspector for the UN, who spoke in Galway recently.

Bhí Scott Ritter, an t-iarchigire airm ó na Stáit Aontaithe, ag caint ag cruinniú póiblí i nGaillimh 3 Iúil. Bhí sé ina bhall den Pháirtí Phoblachtánach agus chaith sé tréimhse sna 'Marines' chomh maith. D'ainneoin a chúlra choiméadach, thug sé oráid suimiúil ar cheiliúradh SAM 4 Iúil, 'Lá an Neamhspléachais' agus cad is brí lena leithéid dó féin go pearsanta.

Mar chúlra na hocáide, ba mhaith liom a léíriú go raibh an t-Uasal Ritter in Éirinn ar mhaithe le fianaise a thabhairt i gcás cúirte Mary Kelly a bhí cúisithe as damáiste 1.5 milliún euro a dhéanamh d'eitleán Mheiriceánach. Ag caint ar an ábhar seo, chuir Ritter eachtra Mary Kelly i gcompáraid le Gearmánach ag déanamh ionsaí ar traen lán de Ghiúdaigh ar a bhealach chuig sluachampa lena marú le linn an dara chogadh domhanda.

Cuireadh an dlí ar Mary Kelly i gCill Rois, i gContae an Chláir seachtain ó shin ach níor éirigh leis an giúiré a bheith aontaithe ar a cás. Mothaíonn sí go bhfuil faoiseamh éigin tugtha di óir tugadh treoir don ghiúiré breithiúnas ciontach a thabhairt. Níl sí go hiomlán slán go fóill óir tá seans ann go mbeidh atriail ann san fhómhair.
