Eco-Anxiety Affects More Than Three Quarters of Children Under 12 Mon Feb 03, 2025 19:30 | Will Jones
'Eco-anxiety' affects 78% of children under 12, a crisis that teachers say they are unable to cope with, new polling by Greenpeace has found. The solution? More ruthless exposure of children to alarmist material.

Next time 'calm down' and think before you post !
Sharon.
"As Bertie says that minister Noel Dempsey has been 'standing on his head all summer' trying to resolve the problem in Mayo the Rossport five are still in prison. Standing on his head is probably all he is good for anyway, and besides that is no way to solve problems or dont you know."
Bertie Ahern should know by now that that is not the way to go in order to obtain results . Mr. Ahern should instead instruct Mr. Dempsey to 'climb every tree in North County Dublin ... ' !
Great to see this campaign continuing - it really could be any of us next , if we are 'judged' to have stood in the way of 'big business' .
Sharon .
Obviously the Shell campaign is not DEAD as you elude to in your posting, if it was there would be no need for your posting, now would there . If the welfare of a few families in Mayo dont interest you why do you bother writing at all.
The fact is that there has been little exploration in Irish waters and even if there is anything under there it dosent matter now because it no longer belongs to the Irish people, it has already been given away.

Thank you Sam, a stunning contribution from someone who can't spell eye properly. I'm embarrassed for whatever educational system you flunked through if thats the depth of your contribution to this thread.
After reading your post SH, I am embarassed for you. Calm down, take a few deep breaths, close the eys........now slowly count to 579!
John,
What a pile of crap your contribution truely is. Your masters in FF/PD are taking an absolute hammering and will soon be out of governement.
This campaign is growing in support unlike the government. Public opinion is still heavily supportive of the Rossport 5 only a delusional twit such as yourself believes it isn't, but then again you believe FF/PD are a good govt showing how deluded you are.
Calling the ESRI a left leaning organisation, have you got your head stuffed up your ass. Having been lectured by ESRI economists while in college I can tell you they are far from left-leaning. Next you'll be saying that McDowell is a socialist. Keep your paranoid fantasies to yourself.
The gas can be brought on shore quickly as long as the safety issues are dealt with and the entire deal is renegotiated to give an equitable deal for the Irish people. The ESRI said if the gas supply was interrupted it would result in death, they never said if the corrib project didn't go ahead that death would result, so as everyone can see you are misrepresenting what they said.
Minister Dempsey is a prize ass as is the entire cabinet. The only brilliant thing that Dempsey can do is collect his oversized pay packet. This campaign will continue growing in strength, proponents of this project belong to Shell/govt/Fine Gael. The Public support this campaign and will continue to support this campaign. People understand that Shell will make billions from this. People also understand that FF are a bunch of corrupt cowboys. It is in the National Interest that this project is looked at again and it will be.
Stop deluding yourself, stop embarassing yourself by posting idiotic delusional crap, and pull your head out of your ass.
John - at last - a reasoned and articulate ally!! welcome
Why don't you call off this ludicrous campaign and avoid inevitable humiliation? The fact is you've lost. Public opinion is turning against the Rossport 5. Even the ESRI, a rather left-leaning orgainsation, said today that its imperative for the gas to be brought ashore as quickly as possible. They say failure to do so could result in old people dying in Ireland if gas supplies from eastern Europe are disrupted. Exactly what I said on this site a month ago. Your safety arguments don't stand up. The risk to human life will be much greater if the gas is processed at sea, since this will necessitate thousands of helicopter flights annually . Your economic arguments don't stand up. They were brilliantly dismissed by Minister Dempsey in today's Irish Times. As he pointed out, if the exploration terms are such a giveaway to multi-national oil companies, how come they aren't queuing up to explore Irish waters? You won't face facts. Irish waters are not full of oil and gas. A couple of small discoveries have been made in 30 years of exploration. That's all. During this time oil companies have spent billions exploring Irish waters for virtually no reward. To suggest that the same exploration terms should be imposed as in the North Sea, where one exploration well in three results in a commercial discovery, is ludicrous even by the standards of socialist economics. Your protests are receiving less and less publicity in the media. No one is interested. As summer turns to autumn, your demos will attract fewer and fewer people. This campaign is DEAD. Why don't you simply admit it?
