PROTESTS were taking place in all over the world today to highlight the issue of climate change and to call on Governments to act now.

In Tralee, students gathered at Kerry County Council buildings in Rathass, while later there was a protest in The Square organised by the Kerry Climate Action Network (KCAN).

This is made up environmental organisations, businesses, community groups and individuals from all over Kerry, including the Green Party and People Before Profit members, Transition Kerry and others.

“We’ve been joined by the Friday For Future protestors from this morning,” said Sylvia Thompson of KCAN. “People of all ages have to come together — from the churches, political groups, people who are civically minded, people who have children and grandchildren — to care for our planet,” she added.

    It is sheeple like this that destroy the world and harm our society.

    The only thing you will achieved in Ireland will be giving the politicians the green light to so called green taxes which will not protect the environment or more importantly save our bio diversity from destruction.

    The planet was a lot warmer and a lot colder in the past. It had higher and lower levels of CO2 with no problem to the planets environment.
    However, there has never been so many humans and so little bio diversity.

    What are the sheeple doing about the dirty diesel pollution encouraged by cheaper road tax and fuel prices done to protect German automobile industrial production in the recession.

    The EU’s Mercosur deal further encourages herd growth with the stripping and burning of the rain forests in south America and at the same time the EU is calling for little old Ireland to cut its national herd numbers as this is bad for environment emissions.

    The EU and its sheeple are insisting on open boarders with its member states importing more people (encouraging multiculturalism and mass migration) to artificially increase our declining population mainly from the third world, putting further pressure on the environment. Indeed, some (mainly European) sheeple seem to be scared (brain washed or brain dead) to reproduce as it harms the planet.

    Just look at Germany compared to France and how the German sheeple demanded the end of nuclear energy industry (low cost nuclear energy made Germany the manufacturing powerhouse of Europe).

    Germany shift from nuclear to cheaper brown coal energy:

    France seems to have less sheeple and has embraced nuclear energy and their environment is all the better for it.

    What a joke, sheeple wake up and look around with you own eyes and think with your own brains.
