I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee today. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, report on global warming of 1.5o C as a result of CO2 emissions from industry, pathways limiting global warming to 1.5o C are projected to be approximately 75% to 90% lower in 2050 relative to 2010. That is compared with the 50% to 80% figure for global warming if we are projecting up to 2o C. Will Dr. Quinn indicate the emissions trajectory for Irish industry from now to 2030 and from now to 2050? Will I continue with my questions?
