I have a brief question about the targets. The EU Green Paper suggests a 40% reduction by 2030. I am aware that this is only a proposal and that negotiations do not start until 2015. How does Professor Kirby view that 40%? It cannot be done like a switch. A carbon neutral society will be phased in. Does Professor Kirby regard this as a reasonable target to get us moving along those lines?
