I have a short question. It is prompted by the word "overheating". I am trying to recall if the council in its previous presentations to the committee did any analysis regarding climate risk in our economy or the fiscal aspect of it. It is a risk. As Professor John FitzGerald said, we are completely off course and heading rapidly in the wrong direction. We are facing fines of €0.5 billion. Has the council examined that at all?
