Locking in the good parts of lockdown to fight Climate Change.

Paddygreen

Like working from home and travel restrictions. The travel restrictions in particular have been great, I think they should stay in place, in addition city and town centre car bans will be most welcome. I am so happy that Eamonn will get to turn Green ideas into green reality, I anticipate that his achievements will be amazing. Going forward after lockdown could have like a Green year zero. This Opportunity is too good to miss guys. A lot done, more to do.

I was just talking to an activist mate of mine there. Extinction rebellion is going to push to keep the good parts of the lockdown. Watch this space.

Certain places people shouldn't be and would be nice for nature to take back....

Seeing a lot more deer on the N11 too....

More so when was quieter but still more then at previous normal times....

Tell me, is your contract with Boards or Journal.ie?

The greens should be boiled in rapeseed oil. Evil bastards.

Isn't there a possibility of even more pollution when travel restrictions are lifted? Fewer people willing to car share or use public transport due to fear of infection will surely lead to more vehicles on the road even allowing for increased numbers of us working from home.

Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time. For ya'll have knocked her up. I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe. I was not offended, for I knew I had to rise above it all or drown in my own sh1t.

Huh? Which chapter of XR are you with? I haven’t heard that slogan before.

Why? Unless you don't believe the climate change argument, or are opposed to the Greens because as a farmer you disagree with some of their policies.

I just don't think the way we did things in the past should be the way we do them in the future.

Why? Because people won't travel on public transport, but in their cars?

Where would they even park?

So, people should be restricted from seeing family indefinitely?

Yeah, that one sounds reasonable and practicable.

We haven’t gone away. We just paused to survey the metaphorical battlefield. Armed with Greta’s message we will win the war on Climate Change.

Catch a bus.

The restrictions, as they are, don't permit to go outside of 5km, then subsequently 20km regardless of mode of transport.

It's fine for me. I use the train. I don't have a car because I dont need one. But not everyone lives close to a bus stop or train station. You're not going to get much public buy-in with measures that are so restrictive for the long term.

How is wanting to save the planet deranged? When I was a young activist I remember thinking that all the new Mary Jane contacts I was making in the scene was the best thing about it. I’d show up to the odd protest and toke a jig jag . Now I am totally in it for the planet, I have even superglued myself to stuff.

Supergluing yourself to yourself doesn't count.

Calls to add ‘climate change’ to death certificates – New study demands ‘climate change’ be added as ‘pre-existing condition’

biko

"Climate change" is a debated political statement so no, it cannot go on death certificates.

Like we should not add "mass immigration" to death certificates for people killed by immigrants.

The OP takes the piss and makes us people who care for green issues look bad. Can someone ban the gobsh*te?

Corona shows up how there can be other priorities where a good economy is essential to solving the problem and not putting all ones eggs in one basket using a doomer mindset. Nobody is going argue against having clean air, clean water and habitable environments. Innovation is heading in the direction of decorbonising but its going to be Gen IV nuclear not windmills everywhere

Great to hear Leo saying that the civil service will never be going to the office again, at home forever more. Absolutely fantastic score for Mother Earth. I wish I could cheat bump him right now guys.

Paddygreen

I presume that means no more ‘motoring rates’, ‘subsistence rates’ and so on guys. I guess there is going to be a fair few cutbacks going forward.

Mother Earth was here long before humans came along and will still be here long after humans are extinct, she's made more creatures extinct than we could if we tried.

Defo the pause in manufacturing and transport was felt by mother earth.

The change in air quality was the most noticable. If we pay more attention to air quality we can springboard ourselves outa the rut we have ourselves in.

Any of the eco nutters in this country want to call out the increase in emissions caused by increased use of video calls, social media, streaming and in general a huge increase in data usage? Or is that ok because it's out-of-sight and out-of-mind? Tech industry emissions were on a par with aviation prior to the pandemic, now the tech industry emissions are significantly higher, yet we're supposed to believe we're saving the planet by reducing business travel and video calling people!
