🧵THREAD: There is nothing green about the Emerald Isle this St Patrick's Day

Did you know Ireland has the lowest ecological integrity in Europe?

Our native and natural ecology has been torn away for commercial gain

Ireland is three years past deadline to send long-term climate strategy to European Union

The government has repeatedly fallen short of promises to get the important strategy finished

The Government’s purchase of carbon credits covers up their consistent failure to act in the face of the Climate Crisis

Costing taxpayers, worsening public health & perpetuating climate imperalism

Utter greenwashing:

We even have TDs who are pushing fossil fuels...

Elected officials, such as Patrick O'Donovan, continue to promote the use of fossil fuels even as the Climate Crisis worsens

And if every person on Earth lived like an Irish citizen, the planet would already be 3°C warmer

Our Government is failing to act each & every day:

Meanwhile our media fails to report on the breath, severity and urgency of the Climate Crisis at every turn

...And does all it can to avoid being held accountable
