Following such a positive meeting with the Irish Coalition on Business and Human Rights yesterday, can @daracalleary clarify that Ireland has not taken this position, effectively backing a financial sector greenwashing? #csddd #COP27

I have just warned global leaders at #COP27:
We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.
Our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible.
We need urgent #ClimateAction.

This is a big climbdown from what @GHGGuru told the Oireachtas Ag Committee. California hasn’t reduced its livestock methane emissions by 30%, it’s met 30% of its reduction target!
I presume Committee record will be corrected @jackiecahillff @mattcarthy @BrianLeddin @LNBDublin?

This is key. There's a lot of noise on here at the mo & various accusations. Farmers aren't the problem. But agri policy patently is, & it's been hugely influenced by the agri-business lobby- they must assume some responsibility for the outcome.

Farmers aren't to blame. They have responded to the market & policies developed by gov & agri / processing Ind lobbyists. Making tillage more competitive vs dairy isn't straight forward but that's all the more reason for informed debate @EamonRyan @MichealMartinTD @LeoVaradkar
