Professor Myles Allen:

I am absolutely not advocating that reporting not be done following the standard rules. I am simply saying that this is about additional information that can be reported along with Ireland's reports to the UNFCCC. In fact, that body encourages countries to report additional information which is relevant. I should have made it clear throughout that I am not advocating throwing out the old system. I appreciate a lot is built on it and so on. I am just saying let us augment it with this simple extra information about what we are doing to global temperature.
