RIP #FikileNtshangase, who was brutally murdered in front of her grandson last Thursday after bravely leading resistance against the expansion of a coalmine near her home. Our deepest condolences to her family & those of the hundreds of activists killed for defending their land from the #fossilfuel industry. We demand that @CyrilRamaphosa do everything possible to bring her murderers to justice. #defendthedefenders

What happened to #keepitintheground @eamondryan? Last week the Minister said we don't need "legislative underpinning" on offshore drilling. But legislation is ESSENTIAL. Without it, if the government falls it's right back to drill baby drill.

As Eamon Ryan says in this video, legislation banning fossil fuel exploration would show global climate leadership, clearly signalling to the industry that the future is #fossifree:

As the climate and biodiversity crises intensify, the government should be working to support access to justice and public participation in decisions which are crucial to our shared future, rather than further restrict it, which the current version of the Agriculture Appeals (Amendment) Bill will ultimately serve to do.

On #WorldOceansDay2020 it's time to #ditchthedrills! Offshore drilling for #fossilfuels has devastating impacts on marine life, from tiny plankton to large marine animals like whales and dolphins. Currently there are over 35 licences allowing companies to conduct exploration activity like exploratory drilling and seismic testing off the Irish coast, particularly off the coast of Cork and Kerry. We need the Irish goverment to place an immediate moratorium on ALL fossil fuel exploration activity in Irish waters.
Huge thanks to our allies @extinctionrebellionwestcork for their help with the action!

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

Have you seen our fossil fuel map of Ireland yet? $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.

This week @fiannafail and @finegael launched a pro $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$

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

It's no secret that the government wants to make i

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! 💪💚
