AND the irish government even wants to do some dodgy accounting to change how (extremely climate-warming) methane emissions are counted, to let beef and dairy farming off the hook
The Taoiseach is telling world leaders at COP30 that they need to speak honestly to the public about climate change. Meanwhile his government is sitting on the land use review because he has no intention of telling farmers about the scale of change needed share.google/7UFl4nDNHxip...
Taoiseach tells world leaders about how Ireland was hit hard by Storm Éowyn
