A grassroots campaign protecting Ireland from oil and gas drilling and climate chaos. Link to connecting struggles event:

Instagram post 2316780315728419014_10652191284 $Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has been promoted as a “clean” fuel that will complement Ireland’s energy mix, but in fact LNG is a climate and human rights disaster. Two LNG import terminals are planned for Ireland in Cork Harbour and Tarbert, Co. Kerry, which would import fracked gas from the US. What impacts will these projects have on communities at the other end of the supply chain in the US? In this unique webinar we take a look at both sides of the toxic LNG supply chain, revealing the health and environmental impacts the LNG promoters fail to disclose. We will hear from community representatives from Texas, Pennsylvania and Kerry. USA: Leann Leiter - Earthworks Patrick Anderson - SAVE RGV from LNG Ireland: Johnny McElligott - Safety Before LNG Dr Sadhbh Lee - Irish Doctors for the Environment- IDE Our speakers will share their experiences of fighting LNG projects, followed by a Q&A. This event will take place over Zoom. Please register for FREE through the Action Network tickets link and you will be sent the link on the day of the webinar. #stopcorklng #stoprgvlng #stopshannonlng #stopgibbstownlng$

Instagram post 2316138687661848995_10652191284 $Have you seen our fossil fuel map of Ireland yet? Renewables are generating more and more of our energy but we are a long way from a #fossilfree Ireland. Although we know we have to keep fossil fuels in the ground to stop the worst effects of climate change but the government and private companies are still planning new fossil fuel projects. The detailed map available on our website shows all of the current and potential fossil fuel projects in Ireland, including offshore oil and gas, LNG importation, peat and gas-fired power plants, fracking licences in Northern Ireland and proposed new gas infrastructure.

Today at 5pm @stopclimatechaosire is hosting "Tea with your TD", a unique opportunity to demand #climateaction from your TD face to face! Here are some talking points about fossil fuels - tell them to #ditchthedrills and #stopLNG.️ Register and invite your TD at http://bit.ly/teawithtd

Instagram post 2290166272234514855_10652191284 $This week @fiannafail and @finegael launched a programme for government light on #climateaction and silent on #fossilfuels. At this stage of #climatebreakdown we need a plan which stipulates no new fossil fuel exploration or infrastructure. So how do we do that? First, a reminder that we need to stop building new fossil fuel infrastructure YESTERDAY. Actually to have a decent chance of staying under a 1.5C temperature rise we should have stopped last year. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-07999-w The same applies to offshore exploration. We need an immediate moratorium on all oil and gas exploration off the Irish coast #ditchthedrills. But the Irish government hasn’t got the memo. Along with allowing further gas exploration it has allowed for the planning of two huge Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminals in Co. Kerry and in Cork harbour. Either would lock us into fracked gas for 30 - 40 years. Planning permission for Shannon LNG was renewed in 2019, and the US backers @newfortressenergy are gung-ho to start construction, but the excellent Friends of the Irish Environment has temporarily scuppered their plans through a legal case. So what does the new government need to do to stop Shannon LNG? There are a couple of options: 1. Ban the importation of fracked gas or 2. Ban new fossil fuel infrastructure. Fracking has appalling impacts on human health, climate and the environment, which is why we banned it in Ireland in 2017.Stopping all fracked gas coming into our energy system is tricky because a molecule of fracked gas cannot necessarily be differentiated from a molecule of conventional fossil gas (which is still hugely damaging), which is why we need a global ban on fracking. To be sure of stopping LNG we need to ban new fossil fuel infrastructure. Luckily, we can do this! Portland and other US districts already have. Note that this must be a moratorium to cover cases where planning permission has been granted already, like Shannon LNG. https://www.portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2019/12/18 So it’s simple, ban new fossil fuel infrastructure and exploration and give us an actual chance of staying under 1.5C. #notherenotanywhere$

Instagram post 2249070171347972936_10652191284 $Today we joined @extinctionrebellionireland and @futureproofclare at the US Embassy in Dublin for the international solidarity action against #fracking. The proposed Shannon and Cork LNG terminals would import fracked gas from the US, devastating communities there and locking us in to fossil fuels to 2050 and beyond. As negotiations to form a government continue, #climatejustice must be central any proposed programme for government. That means #noLNG, not in Kerry, not in Cork, not in Texas, not in Pennsylvania #notherenotanywhere. Time to say NO to LNG and #breakthefrackingcycle. Follow @savergvfromlng @xrbarcelona to see details of their actions on this international day of action. Thanks to the amazing protest organisers from XR Ireland and Futureproof Clare!$

Attention #GE2020 voters - the Climate Score is here! We know that #climateaction speaks louder than words so we analysed Dáil voting records to find out which election candidates and political parties have been a positive voice for climate in the Dail. See the party scores below and then head to https://notherenotanywhere.com/nhna-climate-score/ for individual candidate scores (link in bio)

It's no secret that the government wants to make it more difficult for environmental and social justice groups, and Irish people, to have our say on important policies. Time to pull them up on their dodgy behaviour! They tried to pull a fast one by launching a public consultation on something really important, Ireland's long-term GHG emissions reduction strategy, with a really tight deadline of **5pm 31st December 2019**. The questionnaire includes crucial questions on fossil gas and renewable energy - we need to let the government know that we can't accept fossil gas in our future energy mix! It's important that as many people submit to the public consultation as possible, so we have created a handy cheat sheet to make it easy peasy to fill in the government's dastardly questionnaire. Want to have your say? Follow these these two easy steps:

1. Head to our cheat sheet - Link in Bio! Or copy and paste here - https://notherenotanywhere.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/NHNA-Cheat-sheet-GHG-consult-Dec19.pdf
2. Use the info in the cheat sheet to help you fill in the public consultation here - https://secure.dccae.gov.ie/forms/Irelands-Long-Term-Strategy.aspx - before 5pm 31st December! (Link in the cheat sheet)

Let's use our voice and show the government we care about climate policy and a better future for all! 💪💚

Instagram post 2205950985482617804_10652191284 $What an amazing 2019! This year saw big steps in #fossilfree campaigning in Ireland and around the world. The Taoiseach announced a ban on offshore oil drilling, the importation of fracked gas was debated in the Dáil, the Shannon LNG terminal was stalled, the European Investment Bank said it will stop funding fossil fuels, Cork City and County councillors voted almost unanimously against Cork LNG and over 500 election candidates signed the NHNA Fossil Free Election Pledge! A huge THANK YOU to every single person who helped out with the campaign this year, whether you signed a petition, came to a protest, shared a tweet or signed our #fossilfree election pledge. We are honoured to work together with every one of you to take down the fossil fuel industry! 💚💪Have a well earned rest over Christmas and if the season has you feeling generous sure check out our brand new Donate Now button on www.notherenotanywhere.com 😉 #stopshannonlng #nolng #stopcorklng #ditchthedrills #notherenotanywhere$

Instagram post 2203158440260241829_10652191284 $Say no to Cork LNG! Demonstration outside City Hall and Port of Cork today with @savergvfromlng, Cork XR and @fridaysforfuturecork. This planned huge terminal would import fracked gas from the Rio Grand Valley in Texas with devastating impacts on vulnerable communities there. While also locking Ireland into dirty fossil fuels beyond 2050. At a meeting with Port of Cork today a delegation handed over a petition with over 3400 signatures and a civil society letter signed by over 50 groups asking Port of Cork to drop the project. We cannot let this project go ahead. #NOLNG #notherenotanywhere$

Instagram post 2201558234934607017_10652191284 $Time is running out in the fight for a safe climate. Ireland urgently needs to move towards clean energy but the Port of Cork is pushing to lock us into increased dependence on one of the most dangerous fossil fuels for several decades to come. In 2017, the Port of Cork signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with NextDecade, to develop a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal. This will allow the importation of fracked gas from the USA. Fracking is an incredibly harmful method of extracting oil and gas. Ireland banned fracking because of its severe impacts on health and the environment. To inflict those impacts on indigenous and marginalised communities overseas is unbelievably hypocritical. There is no community consent for this project. In recent weeks both Cork City and County Councils have passed motions that they will write to the Port of Cork asking for an annulment of the plans to develop the project. Please stand up for people and the planet by showing the Port of Cork that this project is not welcome. We encourage you to bring signs if you can, as we will be taking a photo.$

What's the problem with #datacentres? We need to transition urgently from fossil fuels to renewable energy and a major step in the zero carbon energy transition is reducing energy demand.
But the government has big plans to increase demand for electricity in Ireland and put huge pressure on our grid by allowing multinational companies to build energy-intensive data centres all over the country.
Data centres are predicted to account for 36% of electricity demand in Ireland by 2030, yet each data centre only provides c. 30 jobs. Do we need data centres? Can they really be powered by renewable energy? Check out our short explainer here https://bit.ly/36YBZkL plus link in bio.

To quote Audre Lorde “There is no thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.” The campaign against LNG projects in Texas is our campaign and struggle also. #SaveRGVfromLNG #StopCorkLNG #solidarity #NotHereNotAnywhere #breakfreefromfossilfuels
