North Clare Climate Activist Says Major EPA Report Sends ‘Clear Signal’ To Politicians About Climate Action

A North Clare-based climate activist says a major new study commissioned by the Environmental Protection Agency sends a ‘clear signal’ to politicians and policy makers.

The report which has been launched today shows 96 percent of people in Ireland agree climate change is happening and is caused by humans in some form.

5 percent of people are worried about its consequences and 79 percent want it to be a very high priority for the government.

Lisdoonvarna-based Theresa O’ Donoghue, of the Clare Environmental Network and Futureproof Clare, says the change in societal attitudes is long overdue.
