Dr @laurajkehoe, Environmental Scientist is at #ClimateCampIreland to stop #ShannonLNG. “Scientists are ripping our hair out. Politicians listen, nod & smile, then everything carries on as normal. Last year the govt promised to cut emissions by 4.8% but emissions went up by 5%.”

“We are fighting for our lives” says Ray Kemble, ex-gas worker from Pennsylvania, whose well water was poisoned by #fracking in the area from where gas for #ShannonLNG would come. In this clip he describes the public health disaster in his community, incl a surge in cancer cases.
