    Ah the yachting life for all of us soon no doubt :rolleyes:

    How is dividing the total output, by the total population false when it is done in for every country?

    Does this not give a figure of, this is the CO2 which this country needs to function as it currently operates and so is comparable from one country to the next.
    The total power stations would have been factored in to their total output, it's not like they were ignored.

    What do you want to look at, if not data?

    It's false because it's not accurate

    How is it possible that Germany have several coal burning power stations that dwarf our 1

    Which is the biggest emissions output in this county, but for some reason we have a higher level of emissions then Germany...... How does this work, its rubbish

    So what remains to be learnt or proven?


    Models currently cannot predict the weather in a weeks time and you are suggesting that the models predicting weather in 100 years are perfect, therefore there is nothing left to learn?

    LOL. How is it Ireland has a higher GDP than Germany even though the population is lower?

    They have a bigger economy and industrial output... how does this work its rubbish

    I have looked in a number of locations, and in no place can I see Germany being listed as having smaller per capita numbers than Ireland.

    I don't know how you have been able to determine that the data is false.

    It's totally rubbish,

    It's all fabricated bull****,

    I have always maintained there are serious problems to be dealt with, but this stuff is only crap

    The links I posted have different origins and pretty much corroborate the respective values.

    What evidence have you to counter this other than saying it is BS?

    So what you are saying is our 1 coal burning power station oughtweighs several German ones that produce much more emissions

    Moneypoint is our biggest output for emissions in Ireland

    There are 4 or 5 power stations in Germany with bigger emissions each per station

    Yet you somehow managed to come up with some data o to prove I am wrong

    Please tell me how 1 power station in Ireland is a bigger emissions output then 4 or 5 Germany ones

    Per. Capita.
    Do you know what that means?

    So, say they have even 15 times the number of coal burning plants as we do, but nearly 17 times the population of ours, then the emissions for each individual person in Germany are smaller than in Ireland.

    And Germany's per capita value is greater than ours, as listed in links above.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,882 ✭✭✭windy shepard henderson


    I know exactly what it means

    The environment dose not work ón a per capita basis, it works on what is emitted to the atmosphere

    Germany emmit far more then we do and it should be based on nothing else,

    Averages and pet capita bull**** are only to hide the bigger country's output

    Of course the environment doesn't work on a per capita method.

    But, it is fair to say that CO2 produced are 'generally' associated with the number of people in the country. Energy, travel, industry etc, so the use of per capita is an objective reference between countries that are largely similar in how they function.

    The 197 countries which signed the Paris accord are ok with such reference points, why is it not good enough for you?
    And, what would you advise in its place which would take in to account the number of people living in the country?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,882 ✭✭✭windy shepard henderson


    Answer me this....., do you think the atmosphere knows what countries signed up or didn't or even what was being agreed

    How dose a per capita system stop a marsk shiping vessel from dumping its rubbish in the ocean

    Moneypoint dose not output more then German power stations, Irish people do not put more emissions in the air then Germany so end the bull****

    Point in bold first, the figures quoted DO say that Germany emits more emissions than Ireland.

    Your other two points? I have no idea what you are trying to say.

    If moneypoint is the biggest emitting system on the island but no where near the German levels I imagine we are way behind

    The per capita data is only useful if peoples farts :rolleyes: are taking into consideration, it's nonsense

    Which is why the entire world should focus on condemning china, india , south american and african countries before trying to tax europe to death

    That would be considered racist by these morons.

    Notice you left the US out of your (s)hit list. Why was that?
    IMO "We" should focus on getting our own house in order (and reducing trade with/penalising those who blatently refuse to do anything and use their freedom to emit and pollute away to their hearts content to outcompete businesses here).

    Because the US and europe are already in the gaze of the climate mafia. The fact that they wont target these other countries is just more proof on the pile that this is an attempt to import socialism and oppressive taxation to wealthy white countries and nothing to do with the planet

    So many American political buzz-words it is hard to know what to say.
    Why should someone living here say (or indeed elsewhere in Europe) "target" other countries for their political activism around climate change in preference to trying to make changes here?
    They have to sort themsleves out...there is no "white man's burden" any more.
    "We" sort ourselves out and (possibly) push others (including the US) in right direction by insisting on considering environmental policy when it comes to trade and foreign relations generally. It is funny that you left the US off your list as they are per capita the worst by quite a long way and they have a large and (compared to Europe) a more rapidly growing population.

    I understand the topic, but you cant base emissions on a per capita basis

    It simply won't add up,

    Can you suggest an alternative barometer by which companies can objectively assess their behaviour versus others?

    For a start it should be on a basis of, If a country has more factory's, cars, power plants, people ect... Then it would surely have a greater impact on emissions then a smaller country
