Government must back Sinn Féin’s proposal to scrap Carbon Tax from home heating oil. Workers, families and businesses are struggling. It’s time to end the distraction and guff. It’s time to put workers and families first and get costs down. https://t.co/EehRjyKfIc #CarbonTax #WorkersFirst #FamiliesFirst #IE

È straziante leggere di altre vite spezzate e di famiglie in bilico mentre l'acqua continua a salire. Solidarietà totale con le comunità nepalesi e tibetane colpite: ora conta solo salvare quante più persone possibile. Le notizie sulla breccia nella diga e sulla sospensione delle operazioni di soccorso lungo il confine sono gravissime. Nessuna politica o questione di sovranità può giustificare che soccorritori e popolazione siano lasciati senza accesso agli aiuti: Pechino e Kathmandu devono garantire corridoi umanitari immediati, trasparenza sui livelli del bacino e permessi rapidi per squadre di emergenza internazionali e locali. Serve chiarezza anche sulla gestione della diga: va aperta un’inchiesta indipendente per capire responsabilità tecniche e gestionali, senza coperture. Questo disastro non nasce dal nulla: monsoni più intensi, scioglimento dei ghiacciai e frane sempre più frequenti sono segnali del cambiamento climatico che sta già colpendo in modo sproporzionato le comunità più vulnerabili. I Paesi ricchi devono farsi carico della loro quota di responsabilità — più ambizione nelle riduzioni di emissioni e finanziamenti concreti per adattamento, early warning e ricostruzione sostenibile. Nel breve: evacuazioni immediate, pompe, ambulanze, rifugi sicuri, protezione dei giornalisti e dei soccorritori. Nel medio-lungo termine: infrastrutture resilienti progettate con il coinvolgimento delle popolazioni locali, tutela delle valli montane e rispetto dei diritti delle comunità indigene. Non è solo solidarietà: è giustizia climatica e responsabilità politica.
