Irelands National Climate Change Strategy

Hey,

I was jst reading Irelands national climate change strategy, and Im wondering does anyone have a link or any into in regards to if we have achieved the targets we set for ourselves?

Has this been overshadowed by the economic crisis?

Ironic tbh.

Official monitoring is done by the EPA. The following two reports give some indication of the official position:

Not half as much fun as Penn and Teller though.

Two things:

1. A link to a video does not a contribution make.
2. The video is not relevant to the thread.

We are a long way from achieving what we said in the NCCS, not to mention start seriously considering the EU's 2020 vision for GHG emission reductions!

As with most climate policy in Ireland, its full of waffle with no action to really back it up. Now, we can excuse ourselves by hiding behind the "recession"!

Government should be ashamed.
