    Ryan has always being a fool, but since this so called green wave he really shows how big a clueless idiot he really is .The man has no clue along with a few more posters on this thread what happens outside Dublin, living in their own little fantasy world.

    For anyone not with the programme. Eamon Ryan the leader of the greens wants wolves in Ireland. I happen to want it too. It’s a legitimate policy option.


    But it's a massive red herring in the context of the Extinction Rebellion and is being used by Climate Change deniers to drag this thread off topic.

    Listening to the radio a few moments ago. The newscaster made reference to a comment by Eammon Ryan during the week . This guy is clueless.Ryan suggested a village with 300 people should ideally share 30 cars between. Idiotic suggestions like this is more reason to keep this clown away from a position of power and influence.

    Who is going off topic? To be honest the thread should be locked because it’s just going around in circles.

    The bottom line is, the hypocritical ER won’t get anywhere and planes, trains and automobiles will be around for longtime into the future so they need to get used to it.

    Oh come of it that’s their main objective. Someone already posted that they want it done by 2025 planes grounded, idiots.

    Maybe to keep the aviation industry in check and for it not to keep growing exponentially? Anyone with 2 brain cells knows flying isn't going anywhere.

    So how will transportation meet Zero carbon in 6 years. Do you think the founders of ER are playing with a full deck?

    That’s reducing emissions, they want zero by 2025. The only way to achieve that is ground all planes and stop using ice cars. They are deluded.

    What's an ice car?

    Being ambitious is a good thing. European governments have pledged to do it by 2050.

    There are also examples where the seemingly 'inevitable' turned out to be impossible, impractical or implausible e.g flying cars, supersonic travel for the masses.

    I'm nominating you to head the next crack at commercial hydrogen fusion power generation.
