@evbnb_ie @CorkGreens @EamonRyan Eg VW Passat 2014 max 140g/km, avg km pa 15k = 2,100kg CO2 pa.

Donate to plant 200 trees pm = 2,400 pa.

Tree absorb approx 10kg CO2 pa over 1st 20 yrs so trees you plant in 1 yr absorb 24,000 kg over 20 yrs.
That’s 10x the CO2 from the driving.

Where are my numbers wrong?

@crowley_gavin @MichealLehane There are plenty of 2013 cars in good condition.

@sidkearney @MichealLehane I’ll add that buying new cars is one of the reasons many people fail to build wealth.

[J @UseYour2Neurons]

@sidkearney @MichealLehane Yes, I agree.
My point is two-fold: you won’t save money and you won’t be ‘greener’.
But if you just want to change your car anyway, then sure, take advantage of the new scheme 👍.

@JamesMelville You clearly do not understand what is coming for the global economy over the next 5 years. Without AI companies and data centres, your country would be left far far far behind. Just as well that the UK is actually not doing too badly as regards AI and quantum computing companies.

@IrishTimesBiz So, being pragmatic, if owning a home is a top priority for you, then why don't you move to Belfast?

@BHabrock36403 @krassenstein Retard. Obama's deal stopped them from having nukes.

@pl_european AI is the future. That’s is unavoidable. Europe is making significant moves to advance tech sovereignty.
And yes, Michael is ALSO full of shit.

@johnkellyjkcs @MichealLehane Yes, I’m aware it’s optional. Point is that it is not the environmental friendly option in most cases, so what is the objective?

@RTEbusiness How is it more green to extract raw materials, process them, manufacture components & ship them, manufacture the final vehicle, ship it to Ireland (+all the workers commuting at every step)… than to keep your old car running smoothly?

@PeterRicke63494 @JamesMelville Wow, MTR777 is a fucking lunatic 😂

[J @UseYour2Neurons]

@PeterRicke63494 @JamesMelville Cool. Let your country fall further behind. I don’t care.

[J @UseYour2Neurons]

@woodsoffin You missed the other side of the coin. The US is as powerful as it is because the world made a decision at Breton Woods in 44 to accept the USD as global reserve currency. That gives the US an “exorbitant privilege”. The world has given you your power. That has begun to change.

[J @UseYour2Neurons]

@PeterRicke63494 @JamesMelville Perhaps you don't understand the direction the global economy is moving. Close all DCs and you guarantee that your country will be technologically far behind, economically weak, and dependant on foreign powers for the long term.

[J @UseYour2Neurons]

@newpeteV1 @FionaSmall Yup 100%

@reallyoptimized It must be going great here in Ireland then, as we have excellent beef.
And are you saying it’s not possible to get pure ground beef in Denmark?

[J @UseYour2Neurons]

@hunt_theW @ramonagusta Then we certainly agree on that!
There is work to be done, and the Draghi report shows the way.
No European country is big enough to compete and scale alone.
Progress towards Draghi recommendations is slower than I’d like, but, it is happening.

@john4brexit Not your friends?
Are you 5 years old?

@cto_maverick @KerryBurgess No, Kerry said people in NI are at the mercy of the British government.
