We have about 320 Gt of CO2 left in the carbon budget globally to give us a 50% chance of avoiding going over 1.5 degrees warming. We are emitting about 40 Gt of CO2 a year.

We cannot waste this budget on conspicuous consumption by the wealthy. We need it for a just transition.

The average private jet to or from Ireland emits about 10 tonnes of carbon, just slightly under what the average Irish person emits in an entire year, or the equivalent of driving 40,000km.

We are in an emergency, we are running out of time, and we need to act.

Today, @pb4p is introducing a Bill to ban private jets from Ireland.

These are the epitome of social and climate injustice, where the richest 1% is responsible for 16% of global emissions, but the poorest pay the price.

@SeanGLynch1 I agree. The Gardai should have intervened to stop the threats of violence by private security who threw furniture onto the street.

The "commentator" is a climate change denier.
RT @NewstalkFM: Commentators have criticised proposed legislation to ban most private jets from Irish airspace.

We know that the political establishment want rid of all traces if neutrality.

The question journalists should be asking them is whether they intend to submit dropping the triple lock and further participation in EU militarisation to a referendum?

This is the government's plan:

1. Scrap Triple Lock
2. Participate in more NATO alliances like Partnership for "Peace"
3. Join EU Common Foreign and Security Policy
4. Join NATO

We have to stop them.
RT @rtenews: Micheál Martin's speech will be part of Dáil statements on the new consultative forum on international security policy which is examining Ireland's policy of military neutrality rte.ie/news/politics/2023/0518

This is boringly predictable as is the outcome of the so-called consultative forums which are being chaired by a supporter of US militarism.

Do the people get to have a say?

RT @cllrjohansson: I attended an illegal eviction today where hired thugs were making serious threats against us.

The Gardaí were called, arrived 1 hour later and refused to intervene in what they called a "civil matter".

I told them I was a public representative wanting to make a statement. 1/2

For the people who keep saying "there's no far right, just concerned parents"...

This is Kevin Coyle who was a key leader of the protest at Sandwith St on Friday night, protested outside my house and disrupted a PBP meeting in Jobstown last night.

@dliodore @davemurf83 Dave was pushing this on me too. He's a shill for Big Bin. If only the Dave in prison for opposing bin charges could see him now.

They were there when it happened, so I'm not sure numbers were the problem 🤷
RT @thejournal_ie: The Taoiseach says he does not believe there are enough gardaí available on the streets of Dublin to effectively combat violent attacks on refugees.

Leo Varadkar told reporters he was “shocked and horrified” at the burning of refugee tents last Friday:
