offsite link Climate Change Giving Meaning to Life Fri Jan 17, 2025 15:13 | Dr James Allan
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.

Yesterday, another four exploration licences were awarded to energy companies who want to exploit the natural resources off the west coast of Ireland. Estimates of the value of our resources vary, but the rising price of energy around the world would indicate that large amounts of money are at stake. The Department of Natural Resources released figures last May saying that there are at least 10 billion barrels of oil in Irish waters. There may be much more. Oil is currently valued at $104 per barrel. ... read full story / add a comment

"On an eight day intercultural, fact-finding trip to Palestine," http://www.indymedia.ie/article/86470 and participating in the weekly Bil'in protest last Friday, three IPSC activists in a group of ten Irish concerned citizens who journey up from Jerusalem witnessed the brutal dispersal of the peaceful marchers by the Israeli Occupation Forces through the indiscriminate firing of rubber bullets and physical assault which continued all around us as our group was corralled without rhyme, reason or explanation by the IOF. Even so, thanking the good lord for small mercies, it was small potatoes in comparison to the egregious violence visited on previous Bil'in protests as evidenced in the DVD documentary we saw later. ... read full story / add a comment

On Wednesday, February 27th, news broke of the Health Services Executive’s decision to freeze funding for homeless services. This move makes an absolute mockery of government policy and the official target to eliminate homelessness by 2010. Organisations working with people who are homeless have already begun to feel the pinch of what is effectively a cutback. ... read full story / add a comment

We enter into a contract with our employers to do a certain amount of work in return for a certain amount of pay. In Ireland the standard working week is 39 hours long, and anything over that is overtime. Of course, the bosses don't pay us for travelling to and from their premises (what do they think we are doing - sightseeing?) and if they can get away with it they won't pay us for lunch or breaks, so we end up spending a lot more of our waking lives with them and the crew they have picked to make money for them, than we do with our family or friends.
