Activist challenges climate crisis deniers at Irish polling station
An activist dressed up as a giant stick of celery targeted two Irish politicians at a polling station as they prepared to cast their votes.
She brandished a sign outside Kilgarvan Central School in Co Kerry saying: “Climate change is real, it’s an emergency, and we can all fight it by going vegan.”
Danny and Michael Healy-Rae were targeted over their views around the issue of climate breakdown.
Michael previously said that he feels farmers are unfairly blamed for the climate crisis, while his brother Danny stated that he does not “subscribe to the idea that man can influence climate”.
Peta has called on the politicians to “not only to take note of the environmental crisis but also to take action to combat animal agriculture’s massive contribution to the climate crisis”.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.

Such creativity among the ‘climate change’ activists! A pity that all that energy and creativity is wasted on a non-event: the fake ‘human-caused climate change’ myth. Fortunately, the tide is turning and more and more people are waking up to the reality of this fraud on humanity – and to the scientific truth that climate change is cyclical and has nothing whatsoever to do with carbon dioxide.
