Global Warming
Global Warming is a reality: the only remaining questions are how much can humanity do to minimise the damage, and how much time is left for decisive and concerted global action. We are witnessing the fastest and most dramatic change in climate for over one million years, and as a crisis it is unparalleled in the history of our species.
Genetically Modifed Crops
Genetically modifed crops and other organisms represent an unquantifiable and unknowable risk to ecosystems, food security, biodiversity and human health. The argument in favour comes from vested interests - some of the most powerful corporations on the planet backed by hundreds of billions of dollars of muscle - with everything to gain from the proliferation of GMOs. However, they can be stopped.
Corrib Gas Project
Ireland unwisely gave away its off-shore gas resources to a group of multinationals now headed by Shell. Now these same multinationals plan to build a refinery bang in the middle of a bog in North Mayo.... all with the blessing of the Irish State.
