——to play its part. I am simply asking the Taoiseach to articulate what part this country will play in meeting that target. That is all. I wanted to ask the Taoiseach about that because he made a worrying comment to the effect that it did not matter two tossers for the next ten years. Does he understand about the increase in heavy rainfall which, for example, has doubled since the 1960s? That heavy rainfall has resulted in flash flooding, which the Taoiseach will know all about in Drumcondra. Dust storms have trebled in China since the 1960s and glaciers in South America will be gone within 25 years.
