Ireland will not meet its carbon budget targets for 2021 to 2025 or for 2026 to 2030, unless urgent action is taken.
That is the warning from the Climate Change Advisory Council, which published its annual review for 2023 today.
It warns that unless emissions begin to fall much more rapidly, the targets set in April last year will be missed.
The Council said that the pace of implementation of agreed policy by the Government “was not acceptable, given the existential threat and impact of climate change on society”.
It noted that that spring and summer this year had seen “a concerning series of unprecedented climate events” including the warmest June ever recorded in the country and record average sea surface temperatures in the same month.
Should temperatures continue to rise, it warned that Ireland will witness “more extreme weather events… such as heatwaves, droughts, storms and flooding”. […]
In the energy sector, it said that it was critical to stop using coal for electricity generation as soon as possible; it called on the Government to conclude its onshore wind energy plans; for more help for local authorities to deliver onshore and offshore renewable energy applications; for the roll out of electricity storage to be incentivised; and for laws to support consumers to access the data from their smart meters so they can better control their energy use. …

Someone needs to go to jail by golly! 🤔😵
Just like the Irish, we are all going to die now.

No Country can,,,,may be the 100 billion tons of vapor and ash pumped into the atmosphere over the past two years is causing some of the Climate Change.
SSDD
Back to the potato Irish! No cow for you!!!
there are these marxists covens every where it seems...
Ireland is a small country of a few million people, and a good deal of it is rural. California is six times larger. But the world will end if the Irish don’t meet the arbitrary dictates of Big Brother and the Great Reset. We are doomed! How many years left, seven?
Those truly bothered are welcome to commit suicide and leave their property to the state.
Bwa-ha-ha!
Good Lord! Why, that could result in ... absolutely nothing.
Well, kill another 100,000 cows, then!
And suppose one stupid little island actually “met its targets” while huge countries like China and India continue to industrialize.
What’s the point?
The only people more insane than these disgusting roaches are those that put them in power.
“And suppose one stupid little island actually “met its targets” while huge countries like China and India continue to industrialize.

The point is that the political Regime in Ireland has the grounds to further repress, impoverish and demoralize the subjects they rule.
In this case, failure is a benefit, because it means that greater deprivation of the population is in order.
So what!!
Get out ‘o here !Ireland will be fine with out them global
warming nitwits telling Ireland what to do !
Oh no, if tiny Ireland does not meet their minuscule targets we are all gonna die.
Never mind continuing to not cut turf.
