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?

From Erris to Kilmore Quay, fishermen are protesting in their communities and at the Dail in Dublin at the threats their communities face. Rising fuel prices, fishing quotas followed with really cheap imports has resulted in protests including fisher men giving away free fish on O'Connel Bridge last weekend. Tomorrow the Irish Fisherman's Federation a new organisation which has united Fishermen who work in Ireland has promised to sell fish at wholesale prices at ports around the country on Friday to highlight the difference in what fishermen get paid and what consumers are forced to pay. In Galway fishermen will meet at eyre Square to sell their fish at cost price from noon.

It was quite clear that fishermen would follow the French and reject the EU treaty.

Placards read 'we're not criminals' and 'Third world starves as ireland dumps dead fish', highlighting the inequalities and inefficiencies of globalisation.

The fishermen marched upto the department of Agriculture and deposited a box of frozen fish to highlight the worthlessness of their work.
