    it seems the serbs are rolling all their tanks and military up to the kosovo border at the moment...looks like it's about to kick off in the balkans yet again...is this the spark that will ignite the european powder keg?

    You got a source for this? The last thing you posted was about "the great reset" so I'm curious to see how legitimate your sources about an imminent Bosnian invasion of Kosovo.

    I would say the French revolution had a much larger impact on the world, that was the first overthrow of monarch domination in Europe, it inspired countless revolutions and was the first steps toward liberal democratic society that you see today.


    Also who are you kidding? Russia does not have near the leverage you are portraying, it is a regional issue in eastern Europe, they are the world players that you are insinuating. People are just sensitive because we've had constant growth for decades and now a little stagnation looks like a great depression to them.

    Arguing with that lad is like wrestling a pig. You both end up covered in sh!te, and the pig likes it.

    As far as I know they are being decided about by politicians. Now tell me which politician is expert in his/her respective field. Majority of the EU will not survive without imports from Russia. That is very simple fact.

    Thank you for confirming what I said. Do you really think politicians decide without having a bunch of people looking at the details and implications of each scenarios?

    Ask yourself how new ministers are so quick to be up to speed when a new government or president is elected in a democratic country.

    By the way, your “simple fact” is not a fact but an opinion. Reality is different.

    I will not remind you who was the Irish before.Hope you know history of your country well enough.

    Some people would say that and some people could be very right. But there is no point even talking about it because that would class you as an extremist.

    On another note about the Carbon credits you mentioned, Farmers is Ireland are not allowed offset any carbon that they sequester through grassland forestry hedgrows bogland and /or any new renewable energy they produce on their farm. Any CO2 sequestered get credited to the Land Land use and Forestry sector, and any renewable energy they produce gets credited to the Energy sector. Any farmers credits in the Land Land use and Forestry are actually STOLEN by the Irish Government and sold on the European Carbon Market to guess who more Multinational companies. Carbon prices was 25 euro 3 years ago and is now 100 euro. Dog on the street knows that this commodities will be 500 euro in another couple of years yet farmers are not allowed access this market nor are they allowed to offset their carbon saved against what their cattle/sheep are emitting.

    I work for a Multinational company who has lots of land throughout Ireland that actively has bio divers areas set up and is offset the carbon sequestration from these areas as well as the forestry it owns. We also completed 5 Solar renewable energy projects. All of the above are eligible to be offset against our CO2 output.

    WHY IS THE IRISH FARMER GETTING ABSOLUTLY SHAFTED.

    it’s hardly a secret that carbon credits are a scam.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭Jonnyc135


    Very unfair that the majority of the land owners in Ireland at the minute are locked out from trading this commodity. Instead their credits are being effectively stolen.

    Facebook actively buying forestry in Lietrim through an American Investment firm, using the credits from the forestry to offset against their "strategic importance" data centres built here.

    How can Facebook do that and not a company set up by an individual?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭Jonnyc135


    I don't know, Multinational I work for doing it too and when we done the solar energy projects they can be used to offset against our emissions. If a farmer does it, it gets credited to the energy sector.

    Carbon Removals Action group was at a Oireachtas meeting about a month ago and asked these questions but no answers. I have asked my 3 local TD with emails regarding this as like you I am wondering if I was to set our farm up as a buisness as opposed to a family farm would that then allow me to claim credits. Still no reply yet

    Tomorrow the Russian parliament will discuss and vote on Ukraine being labelled as a terrorist state.

    If passed it would allow the legal imposing of sanctions on Ukraine and countries supporting Ukraine which would be classed as sponsors of terrorism.

    It sound's a bit mad, is totally off topic and nothing to do with a global recession eh ?

    As Europe's gas prices go higher due to low supply Canada and Germany will co-operate on the return of the other 5 turbines that are still in Canada. So there was 6 altogether sent for repair.

    Have you ****ing heard him. We need to make sacrifices for our green utopia and and for Ukraine. I can't remember anyone asking me about it.

    Well we can't give out about the excesses of the past with one hand and expect things to remain the same with the other.

    The only ones I hear giving out about the excesses are a small group of ecowarriors who would have us all owning nothing and living like peasantry if they get their way.

    none of the big cities in those countries have been inexpensive for a decade or more at this stage, but at least you have a chance of renting or buying at those high prices.

    the causes are different, at least in Canada. There is no getting away from that. Their bubble is a classic Celtic tiger that never really stopped.

    Why would you ignore cause? That is economics.

    We still aren't at 2007 levels and all those countries are way beyond it

    Ah grand so, sure we've nothing to be worrying then.

    Do not mind him. They all try to sing that song about how everyone needs to tighten belts and put on extra jumpers. Wait for first bills starting to come in when people start using heating again. Add in some blackouts and there will be swift government change nearly everywhere in the EU.

    People seems to forget about how many went to the streets last time when government planned to charge households couple hundred euros for water. There will be more people out this time as energy and food prices cost will be several magnitudes higher.

    all summer i've seen countless articles about the jetset flying all over europe in their private jets and them embarking on their luxury diesel guzzling yachts...and then they have the nerve to turn around and scold the general populations of the world for driving their cars to work to earn a crust to pay the huge energy and food bills just to survive...

    also the irony of the obama's splurging 12 million on a beachfront property just a couple of years ago...the house is literally beside the water...they're obviously not at all worried about rising sea levels...

    we've all been sold a pup..

    Large producers of nitrogen fertilizer in Poland and Lithuania Azoty and Achema halt production in the past two days.

    The whole industry is collapsing every day firms are shutting or making less. Big outfits as well
