Professor Brian Ó Gallachóir:

The Senator talked about the geophysical system. We did not do any modelling on the science because we were focusing on the response more than the science. We did not model shocks to the energy system or agriculture explicitly. The levels of ambition we are talking about will develop their own, not so much shocks, but significant changes. We tried to model a range of scenarios to provide some useful information on the scale of what might be achieved. However, we did not specifically model shocks to the system. That provides a cursory overview.
