Is the Birth Rate Low Because of Climate Anxiety? Fri Aug 22, 2025 11:00 | Noah Carl
Is the global fertility crash due, at least in part, to worries over the climate? A new Swedish study finds little evidence that concern about climate change is an important contributor to low birth rates.

The Arctic Stays Frozen While Climate Science Melts Fri Aug 22, 2025 09:00 | Ben Pile
The Guardian's recent U-turn over Arctic sea ice ? not melting, it turns out ? is symptomatic of a broader collapse in climate alarmism, says Ben Pile. None of the prognostications of doom have come true.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7I didn't sign up for the Shell to Sea Facebook page, but thanks to Facebook's action, I now have. Well done, Facebook. Well done, Irish Times.
"Since Facebook doesn't actually make anything, it will have a negligible effect on the economy"
What a load of out dated non sense. Just because a firm is not engaged in the manufacturing sector does not mean that it has a negligble effect on the economy.
Some folks in MIT have started a site called YouTomb at http://youtomb.mit.edu/ to host videos that have been taken from YouTube for various reasons.
What is needed -maybe it exists already? -is a website that hosts page deleted from Facebook. The Shell To Sea one would be a good start.
There is a talk from the Last Hope hacker conference about the site here.
The blurb for the talk said this:
YouTomb (youtomb.mit.edu) scans sections of sites where popular videos pop up (Digg, Technorati, YouTube, etc.) and adds these videos to a database. This growing database is continually re-scanned and all the metadata is logged. When a video from the YouTomb database (about a quarter million right now) goes down, it is featured on the YouTomb website. The future of YouTomb may include: tracking geographic blocking, caching the videos themselves, tools for bloggers and people embedding YouTube clips, a search function(!), and more. YouTomb was born at Free Culture MIT. This session will begin as a presentation, but should quickly become an interactive discussion.

These websites are powerful tools but there is a fundamental which is overlooked. It is a simple and a basic point which is too readily overlooked by activists who are otherwise doing sterling work.
This basic point is that the sites HAVE to be advertised on the streets; on lamposts, on the backs of toilet doors of hospitals,schools, colleges, factories, train stations, etc etc etc. This is, I humbly submit , the only Effective way to close the massive information chasm that exists among the bulk of the population ,due to the cones of media silence that are in place re Rossport and the multi billion gas give away deal.
It is galling in the extreme to see the dearth of real information and the lies and misinformation in the MSM ,while knowing what people in Mayo have been put through and what they are still enduring in the name of 'law' and of getting "their heads out of the bog" to quote one P Kenny that we all know from the publicly owned airwaves.

WHY NO MEDIA QUESTIONS ?

There is an awful lot of common sense in the points made by Martin Kelly above, unfortunately common sense is not always very common.
Can anyone tell me if the Shell to Sea website has been 'blocked' from school websites on the Dept's instructions ? I have been told this is the case, but my source does tend to see conspiracies everywhere, so I would appreciate clarity, as such a scenario would certainly seem actionable in the courts plus attendant media coverage.
I'm not sure if the S2S website is blocked from school computers. I have a feeling that I have accessed it from our school. I'll have a check tomorrow.

is blocked, but so is struggle.ws - I don't see, though, why it wouldn't get unblocked. Our filter is quite severe, but anything I've submitted to be unblocked has been. I'll send in the application to fortigardcentre.com
