Re: Europe acts on global warming?? (4.00 / 2)

Different countries will have different targets, based on GDP per capita.

I'm afraid Ireland will have quite a lot to do ;-)

You can't be me, I'm taken

Oh Ireland is screwed, but that's because we completely ignored the problem for the last decade despite knowing we would have to deal with it shortly. The plan is pay shitloads of public cash buying carbon credits for the medium term.

Re: Europe acts on global warming?? (4.00 / 2)

Meanwhile, we've allowed the MPG of our car fleet to deteriorate and the size of the fleet to increase while not improving public transport because the intention is to privatise anything that's profitable. Oh, and we can't do nuclear because it's nasty and we won't build windpower because of nimbys and I hate, hate, hate, hate them all.

This is why Ireland needs Europe: left to itself the place just turns into a fucking bog.
