Ireland’s parliament is considering a new media law that would push for the creation and dissemination of climate change propaganda. [bold, links added]
A new media commission is set to be established in Ireland, which would be mandated to push for the creation and broadcasting of climate change propaganda.
These powers are being considered as part of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill, which is currently making its way through Ireland’s legislature.
Under the current text of the proposed bill, the new Coimisiún na Meán — which translates to media commission — will be mandated to “promote and stimulate… programs relating to climate change and environmental sustainability,”
The new body will also be mandated to “have regard” for Ireland’s climate minister, and the policies of his department.
As per the legislation: “In performing its functions the Commission shall have regard to policies of the Government and of the Minister for the Environment, Climate, and Communications in respect of climate change and environmental sustainability.”
Also mandated within the legislation is for the new commission to be able to create so-called “online safety codes” aimed at forcing “designated online services” to “take appropriate measures to minimize the availability of harmful online content and risks arising from the availability of and exposure to such content” as well as “that service providers take any other measures that are appropriate to protect users of their services from harmful online content.”
While these new proposals regarding media regulation have been raising eyebrows online, this is far from the first time the Irish legislature made strange rulings for the sake of the climate agenda.
Ireland’s ruling coalition government — which includes the climate-crazy Green Party — saw commercial peat harvesting effectively banned under their rule by court order in 2019 over a perceived contradiction between the practice and EU environmental laws.
Since then, controversy has brewed over the nation — which has a long tradition of turf cutting — importing thousands of tonnes of peat moss from the likes of Latvia for agricultural and growing use.
In a preliminary report into the issue, the ruling government was told that peat imports into Ireland did not make “environmental, economic or ethical sense.”

Will Ireland be getting its own version of Captain Planet or Network Earth that Red Ted Turner did in the 1990’s?
YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHY THE POLITICIANS ARE SO SCARED OF A BIT OF DISSENT OR OPPOSING VIEWS. THE UK GOVERNMENT TOOK THIS TO EXTREMES. THE ULTRA-GREEN LEFT-WING CLIMATE CHANGE COMMITTEE HAS HUGE INFLUENCE.
On January 6th 2006, the BBC held a meeting of ‘leading scientists’ to decide on its future policy on reporting Climate Change.
Present were:
28 BBC employees
17 Environmentalists
10 Others (politicians, civil servants, aid workers)
3 Scientists Mike Hulme, climatologist
Dorthe Dahl-Jensen, Danish ice climatologist
Robert McCredie, physicist, zoology
The meeting decided that since there was a worldwide ‘consensus’ that Climate Change is largely man-made and dangerous, the BBC should no longer provide any airtime to people with dissenting views.
In their 2015 report, the BBC Trust reported that 200 BBC journalists had gone through training on how not to give “undue attention to marginal opinion” when covering scientific issues including global warming.
