Ireland’s parliament is considering a new media law that would push for the creation and dissemination of climate change propaganda. Breitbart has more.
A new media commission is set to be established in Ireland which would be mandated to push for the creation and broadcasting of climate change propaganda.
These powers are being considered as part of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill, which is currently making its way through Ireland’s legislature.
Under the current text of the proposed Bill, the new Coimisiún na Meán – which translates to media commission – will be mandated to “promote and stimulate… programmes relating to climate change and environmental sustainability”.
The new body will also be mandated to “have regard” for Ireland’s Climate Minister, and the policies of his department.
As per the legislation: “In performing its functions the Commission shall have regard to policies of the Government and of the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications in respect of climate change and environmental sustainability.”
Also mandated within the legislation is for the new commission to be able to create so-called “online safety codes” aimed at forcing “designated online services” to “take appropriate measures to minimise the availability of harmful online content and risks arising from the availability of and exposure to such content” as well as “that service providers take any other measures that are appropriate to protect users of their services from harmful online content”.
While these new proposals regarding media regulation have been raising eyebrows online, this is far from the first time the Irish legislature made strange rulings for the sake of the climate agenda.
Ireland’s ruling coalition government – which includes the climate-crazy Green Party – saw commercial peat harvesting effectively banned under their rule by court order in 2019 over a perceived contradiction between the practice and EU environmental laws.

Sadly the parents of school-age children that I know recognise that terrible damage has been done but have not joined the dots and seem to “blame the Tories” without realising Labour would have been worse and that the folly and evil were global. I don’t have the energy most of the time to try and wake people up. I have very few friends left as it is.
I’ve noticed a marked tendency to mollycoddle them even more, potentially leading to even more issues as they get older. It’s only the few sparky kids (like our Jack Watson) with parents willing to stretch them who will be able to fully face the challenges of the future.
My advice to my friend was to get informed, get angry and educate her teenagers regarding the wicked ways of the world
I don’t think I convinced her
You can’t save everyone ToF; we’re focusing on what we can control, leaving the rest to it.
If you’re going to promote free speech, you need people to find the courage to speak up, but I’m not sure schools have ever been that keen on encouraging public speaking.
The UK Speechwriters’ Guild is organising a special conference for people who want to improve their public speaking and knowledge of speechwriting on Saturday 18 November in London. Students only have to pay £25 to attend.
It will include a presentation on the genius of Donald Trump, the history fo protest banners and how Shakespeare can improve your public speaking. Lockdown sceptics very welcome!

“genius of Donald Trump”
I am surprised it hasn’t been no-platformed”
Thank you for supplying this info – (not sure why your comment would attract five downticks, particularly at this early hour … I’m assuming any mention of Donald Trump is to be punished?)
Thx for link
”I am not sure schools have ever been that keen on promoting public speaking ”
I can say from 18 years working in high schools, and lockdown made it worse; they haven’t encouraged this unless it is promotion of political or cultural bias.
However more worryingly is that the debate questions that are part of your event would never be posed in the predominant left leaning Uk education system !!!
Therefore any positive suggestion about alternative political ideology is on purpose suppressed and omitted from student discourse.
In addition I work along side 22 to 24 year old TAs and on the contrary they will speak confidently in public and post frequently with great enthusiasm about all the lefts pet virtue signalling global policies.
gender ideology TAs love speaking publicly about it!
man made climate change .. TAs they love speaking publicly about it!
misogyny TAs they love speaking publicly about it!
being vegetarian they TAs love speaking about it !
Colonialism TAs love speaking about it !
white privilege they love speaking about it!
poor George Floyd they love him!
saving lives by mask and jab action TAs they love speaking about it!
and more speech but especially in the staff room
so don’t underestimate gen Z as TAs and future teachers and teachers to not be confident to speak and especially educate the next generation in the ideological mantra.
They can and they do.
Gen Z can speak publicly about left wing ideology just fine but don’t know any alternative.
