Bríd Smith (Dublin South Central, People Before Profit Alliance) | Oireachtas source

I want to discuss something that needs quick attention, which is the question of the scorching of the earth. The planet is warming at a pace not experienced in the past 1,000 years according to NASA, a very reputable agency with the best scientists in the world. This is not Bríd Smith or the left saying it. The planet is scorching and warming at an unforeseen pace. The response of this Government and governments across the world is insufficient. Does the Minister believe it is sufficient? Does he have sufficient resources in the budget to deal with the issue of climate change?
