Wanted: Climate Researcher to Write Extreme Weather Just-So Stories to Serve Up to Credulous Media Wed Jul 24, 2024 07:00 | Chris Morrison
If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

Porsche has scrapped its sales targets for EVs amid a slump in demand. A previous goal of 80% by 2030 has been watered down and the company now says sales will depend on uptake and how the technology develops.

?Mission-Driven? Government is the Antithesis of Liberty Tue Jul 23, 2024 17:30 | Dr David McGrogan
Labour is "mission-driven", says Keir Starmer. But the last thing anyone should want is a Government with a mission, says David McGrogan. That's because a Government with a mission needs conscripts. That's you and me.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12I have just received a phone call from a Dublin Shell to Sea activists saying that four members of DS2S have occupied the Dept. of Communications, Energy and Natural on Adelaide Road. They have chained themselves to a stairwell inside.
They are now calling for people to go down and support them. Also, the location of the planned demo to mark Pat O'Donnell's 100th day in prison at 5pm today has now changed from outside Shell HQ on Leeson St to outside the Dept of C,E & NR on 29 – 31 Adelaide Road, Dublin 2 (its very near the original location anyway).
See you all there.
There are now 9 Gardai at the Department with more arriving, hope to have pictures available soon
reported that unmarked car containing cutting equipment has arrived, looks like they intend to try cutting chains
Now 14 Gardai visible at Shell to Sea occupation of Department of Natural Resources
now 2 Garda cars, 2 Garda bikes and a Garda van on scene with 2 Garda cyclists around corner. Chains have been cut and Gardai are now taking details of Shell to Sea campaigners
Reported that the two women occupying have been taken away in the unmarked car and that the two men taken away in a Garda van. Protest at 5pm at Shell HQ still going ahead
Well done to the 4 who locked on, solidarity to all in struggle with the chief and all whose lives have been affected by Shells mindless activity in Rossport.

Well done to all four activists for this action, beir bua. Justice for Pat O'Donnell and Shell to Hell.
It was great to sea the 4 people stand up for The country and the people of Erris who were left out of the deal shell made with the FF , Its also very dishearten to see more people being troubled in the name of $hell, Great move to get the protest back on track, to show that people will not stand by while our Natural Rights are being taking away. Good luck with todays protest, Thank you.
All of us in Cork Shell to Sea would like to thank our Dublin colleagues and friends for once again taking a bold action at the HQ of the govt. department that is sanctioning the thieving mess in Erris. We too remembered Pat's 100th day in jail, maybe not in so high-impact a way - see the link below. Once again, our congratulations and thanks for a splendid and daring direct action.
Well done to the 4, hopefully we will see the culture of civil disobediance and direct action growing throughout the island to bring about change. Solidarity from Barcelona, Dunk
