Sectoral Emissions Ceilings: Discussion
Bríd Smith (Dublin South Central, People Before Profit Alliance) | Oireachtas source
The big concern is the rising levels of methane. These were reported on last year by the United Nations, which is very concerned about the matter. Methane is much more dangerous because it traps heat at a much more intense level. From what I have heard today, it does not seem that this matter is being treated with the urgency it deserves. I would be concerned not just about reducing our emissions but also about how we handle the levels of methane emissions being produced.
