Why Are Women Being Told Boyfriends Are ?Uncool? and ?Republican?? Wed Nov 12, 2025 13:18 | Joanna Gray
Women are being told it's "uncool" and "Republican" to have a boyfriend, with some even cropping out their partners' heads on holiday snaps. This is not going to help the birth rate or women's happiness, says Joanna Gray.

A BBC Reckoning for the Covid Lockdowns is Overdue Wed Nov 12, 2025 11:26 | Will Jones
Trust in the BBC has been collapsing for years. For many, it finally died during Covid when the national broadcaster took on the role of chief cheerleader for the lockdowns, no dissent allowed. A reckoning is long overdue.

Decades of Crying ?Fire!? in the Climate Theatre Have Left the BBC with Net Zero Credibility Wed Nov 12, 2025 09:00 | Chris Morrison
It's been a very long time since the BBC even pretended to be impartial on climate change, says Chris Morrison. The truth is, decades of crying 'Fire!' in the climate theatre have left the BBC with net zero credibility.

Trump?s Eisenhower Moment: COP30 and the End of Europe?s Green Agenda Wed Nov 12, 2025 07:00 | Tilak Doshi
COP30 is Trump's Eisenhower moment, says Dr Tilak Doshi. Just as Eisenhower's Suez intervention ended Europe's pretensions to empire, Trump's energy realism is ending Brussels's grandiloquent claims to climate leadership.

event notice
 Tuesday May 27, 2008 20:05 by EDA Cork - Ethical Development Action edacork at gmail dot com
Ethical Development Action (EDA), a Cork-based development group, is hosting a one-day conference to examine the role of biofuels in food security. The conference will be held on Friday 13th June 2008 at the Gresham Metropole Hotel, Cork, Ireland. A confluence of causes has contributed to this surge in food prices, including continuing growth in the world population, changing diets and more meat consumption, as well as a sharp increase in the cultivation of land for biofuels. The growing emphasis on biofuels, which allows nations increase security of energy supply and reduce CO2 emissions from transport, is contributing to these jumps in food costs. Ethical Development Action, a Cork-based development group, is hosting a one-day conference to examine the role of biofuels in this rapidly unfolding crisis.
The conference brings together speakers from the developed and developing world to assess the impact of biofuels on global food security. Speakers from Ethiopia and Brazil will discuss the impacts faced by one of the main food-importing countries in Africa, and the major food and biofuel exporter of South America. A speaker from Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) will highlight the worrying trends in global food security over the past year as commodity prices soar and will discuss FAO's experience with pro-poor biofuel projects.
Speakers from Ireland will describe the latest developments in the EU and Irish markets on biofuel policies and technological breakthroughs. The impact of the developed country biofuel policies on developing countries will also be discussed, to explore how sustainable compatibility of biofuel production and food security can be moved forward.
Speakers to include:
Negusu Akililu, Environmentalist, Ethiopia
Camilla Moreno, Terra de Direitos, Brazil
Mirella Salvatore, FAO, Italy
Colin Campbell, ASPO, Ireland
Jerry Murphy, University College, Cork, Ireland
Tom Crowley, Trocaire, Ireland
J.J. Kavanagh, Irish Farmers Association, Ireland
Bernard Rice, Teagasc, Ireland
Colin Roche, OXFAM
Steve Thornhill, EDA
