A new report says Ireland will fall short of targets to cut 51% of carbon emissions by 2030 to help offset the effects of global warming
shows the country is on course to fall short of its targets to cut 51% of carbon emissions by 2030, even if most measures from the Climate Action Plan were implemented.
"I know what people are going to say: 'What's the point in us doing anything if China are opening up coal stations?''We can't see global warming'"I think the problem is we can't actually see global warming - people are dying already because of global warming on the planet - but we don't see it, it's not there in front of us," he said."I don't think we care about it as a nation".
"What we have identified is that our projections this year are very similar to the projections that we published in last year's report, in terms of the achievement of the 29% reduction.
