It's not CO2 that drives the climate, says astrophysicist Dr Henrik Svensmark. Its the Sun and cosmic rays. But you won't hear about this because only one viewpoint is now allowed in the pseudo-science of climate.

EIFA split

category international | environment | news report author Wednesday February 06, 2008 20:39author by Mayo News Watcher Report this post to the editors

The fishermen have split over claims of pollution from corrib discharge

The Fishermen of Erris have engaged in a war of words over the pollution potential from the discharge from shells refinery.
In a worrying development the fishermen of Erris are arguing amongst themselves about the pollution potential of the wastewater discharge from the proposed refinery.
Mr. Diver, chairman of the EIFA claims that the fish in and around Broadhaven bay will be contaminated by the discharge, and if eaten could cause a risk to public health.
While Mr. Walker the Chairman of a newly formed "mysterious" association (ELCRA) claims that such stories could ruin the livelihoods of the fishermen of Erris by scaring the public and the markets.
Mr. Walker claims that the scare stories could ruin their industry, even if the discharge has no effect on the quality of their product.
meanwhile in a letter posted to the Connaught telegraph by the EIFA chairman, he states that he is confident that Mr. walkers research into the proposed discharge is flawed, and that the MLVC agrees with him that this discharge will indeed contaminate the fish off the coast of Erris, and make them a risk to public health.
Meanwhile Shell has admitted they have agreed to move the discharge location further offshore, and are waiting for the fishermen's organisations to suggest a new location for the discharge.
