weeks on the impenetrable rehash of the EU Constitution. What with their own political leaders and just about every EU schemer letting them know that a no vote would create untold doom laden inconvenience for Ireland. And the Irish people really should show their gratitude to the EU for its larges, without which they would still be in the dark ages, by voting yes.

Just to add to their concerns in a very strange comment piece from Peter Sain ley Berry on EUOBSERVER; he seems to be equating a possible no vote in Ireland’s referendum with not only the end of civilisation as we know it, but the end of all life on earth. That is a big load to shoulder for the Irish.

Reading between the lines it becomes apparent that a no vote would prevent the EU from saving the planet from extinction. Referring to the recent American space probe, to Mars, and larding the probe with sci-fi narrative that not only life, but intelligent life, once existed on that planet he says;

Some will no doubt say that this is what Earth will look like in a few centuries unless global warming can be arrested. Whether the warming might not actually be arrestable is a thought perhaps too horrible to contemplate. We must be positive and hope both that it can be and that it will be. Otherwise we shall have space probes arriving here at some point in the future having been sent by distant scientists eager to know whether life once existed on Earth.

Obviously the contention being that the Martians were not that intelligent because it must have been global warming which destroyed life on Mars. Sain ley Berry ploughs on with his thesis, ignoring that man made global warming- as much as the doomsayers would like us to believe that it is an unconvertible fact - is still only a theory. With many decorators, who have just as much intelligence and whose arguments and studies have just as much relevance to the reality of the situation as do the politically motivated doomsayers.

It has accordingly fallen to the Irish to prevent the earth from following in the footsteps of the now extinct Martians, by voting yes to the Lisbon treaty because ;

Given the imperative for the countries of Europe to lead the way on climate change; to convince a still sceptical US government of the need for emission reduction targets; to bring developing countries within a grand alliance; to pioneer clean energy technologies

Funny the European Union just became the “countries of Europe”, yet he is arguing for central control from the EU which somewhat undermines that concept of independent sovereign countries.

Ploughing on regardless of his inconstancies and the fact that his précis is based on an unproven theory backed buy pure scientific fiction.

The man from Mars might find it absurd that important revisions to European government, supported, so far as one can tell, by the broad mass of the European electorate should be in danger of falling as a result of a referendum in a country whose population amounts to one per cent of the whole.

A few problems with that analysis apart from the obvious that the man from mars won`t be doing

it is an entirely eternal matter for the Irish people if they wish to give their government permission to change the Irish constitution

anything. On what evidence does he claim Lisbon is by the broad mass of the EU electorate? When most of the EU public have been denied a vote on the matter. The other problem is that it is immaterial what percentage the Irish population is of the EU, it is an entirely eternal matter for the Irish people if they wish to give their government permission to change the Irish constitution, in that they are one hundred percent of the whole and Mr Sain ley Berry has no moral right to diminish the paramount and singular worth of the Irish people in deciding their own constitution.

Of course the other problem is the EU will not save the planet by its actions quite simply because its actions will not reduce CO2 levels. All it has done so far is to increase our overheads, made the EU member states less competitive, lowered our standards of living and put an extra burden one our economies, so if we have to rely on the EU to save the planet, we are all doomed anyway.

Even its carbon trading scheme has not reduced C02 levels within the EU and that is only one part of the problem, it is all very well to point the finger at the USA, but China and India will make a mockery of any C02 reductions made in the EU. Even if we accept the doomsayer’s theory and accept the computer predictions, the answer suggested is an immediate reduction in C02 levels on a world wide basis. All the EU will achieve is a levelling of economic levels between West and the East within a general pattern of increased worldwide output of C02 rather than the massive overall decrease the scenario demands.

Eusceptics are often portrayed by EU propaganda as scaremongers and conspiracy theorists, when we say the EU is anathema to the sovereignty of its member states. I do not really know what to suggest of a writer who makes the utterly preposterous suggestion that the result on a vote about the Constitution of Ireland, will be the determining factor in the ending of all forms of life on this planet? Suggestions would be welcome, perhaps you could send them to the Martians? You might as well for the notice our elected and unelected leaders will take, to them, anything which forces the Lisbon treaty is to be welcomed even if it is Sci-Fi.
