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?

Unite To Fight The Raw Gas Pipe

category national | environment | news report author Friday April 18, 2008 17:47author by Lily - www.shelltosea.com Report this post to the editors

Shell announces 'new' pipeline route through Rossport

Yesterday Shell revealed the supposedly new pipeline route. However not much has changed since the Rossport 5 were imprisoned 4 years ago, except that now the Kilcommon community are more determined than ever to say 'no raw gas, refine at sea'! Support them before it's too late.
What's at stake
What's at stake

It's still an unprecedented high pressure raw gas pipeline, it still has no local community consent, the refinery is still in the wrong place, the route cuts through a number of supposedly 'protected' Special Areas of Conservation and Special Protected Areas, the disastrous effects of burning fossil fuels are clearer every year, Corrib Irish gas is owned by foreign multinationals that have 100% tax write off, people are facing prison sentences for trying to protect their community land and livelihoods...
and the Government and Gardai wonder why people will continue to protest?! When everything you treasure is threatened, you are left with no choice but to resist. There are already rumours of Compulsary Purchase Orders on the lands and more people have pledged to go to prison if necessary. Support the community in Mayo.
A Victory for Shell to Sea is a victory for the people of Ireland.
Unite to fight the raw gas pipe.
Shell to Sea!
