‘Trees for climate, not for profit’. 🌲🌳🌲 Today @SaveLeitrim & climate activists from across Ireland pulled 100s of Sitka spruce saplings from Coillte peatland. Straw Boys were among 150 on the direct action targeting industrial conifer plantations & demanding policy change.

Come join the protest against Data Centre expansion on 21st May @ 2pm outside Amazon HQ, Burlington Rd, Dublin 4. Vampire theme fancy dress encouraged, to represent the insatiable corporations that will continue feeding and growing on Ireland's energy, if not stopped.

Dr @laurajkehoe, Environmental Scientist is at #ClimateCampIreland to stop #ShannonLNG. “Scientists are ripping our hair out. Politicians listen, nod & smile, then everything carries on as normal. Last year the govt promised to cut emissions by 4.8% but emissions went up by 5%.”

John McElligott of @SafetyBeforeLNG at #ClimateCampIreland on how we know for certain the gas imported via #ShannonLNG would be from #fracking. See full evidence: bit.ly/3oT4Q49 @MichealMartinTD @LeoVaradkar @anbordpleanala @rtenews @IrishTimes @businessposthq

“We are fighting for our lives” says Ray Kemble, ex-gas worker from Pennsylvania, whose well water was poisoned by #fracking in the area from where gas for #ShannonLNG would come. In this clip he describes the public health disaster in his community, incl a surge in cancer cases.

“Big companies with the help of governments are driving us towards a climate catastrophe… The fossil fuel industry is exploiting the war in Ukraine to push the case for an LNG terminal.” #ClimateCampIreland in The Irish Times. irishtimes.com/ireland/2022/…

Is this Not Corrib Gas Giveaway Continuation,whereby Private Corporations=Fossil Fuel company Renewable Subsidiaries will be Given License to Control Irish Future Energy Needs + Profits From Public Natural Resources=Our Wind 😕 Wake Up People ! @RBoydBarrett @gluaiseacht
In the not too distant future, homes and businesses around Europe will be powered by Ireland's wind energy. It will devastate despots and make Ireland and our neighbours prosperous and secure. We need to go at this like the clappers.

Gluaiseacht have also submitted our objection to proposed new 299MW Gas power plant for Derryfrench, Tynagh, Galway. "The obvious solution to prevent greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is to stop burning them" gluaiseacht.ie/content/gluai…

Thanks @NHNAireland for this great tool, which will be very useful keeping track of the new gas and data centre projects currently going in for planning around the country.

Great new climate campaign from @FFFireland against plans for 7 new fossil gas plants in Ireland. One of these 1.5°C-breaching plants is to be built in Galway by #EPEnergy owned by Czech company #EPH - otherwise known as the "coal villain of the EU". #KeepItInTheGround
