I’m starting to think the global warming hoax is a conspiracy by fat people.
They want to turn the whole world into a gigantic air conditioner.
Taking one in five cars off the road and cutting the cattle herd by 10 per cent by 2030 are measures under consideration as the Government finalises its updated Climate Action Plan.
The targets were described as “very ambitious on all fronts” by one person involved and huge investment in public transport will be needed.
The updated Climate Action Plan is said to be mostly finished and should be ready for Wednesday’s Cabinet meeting.
Drafts of the plan require a 20 per cent reduction in cars and a 10 per cent reduction in cattle by 2030.
The final plan is not yet agreed and a cabinet subcommittee meeting is to work out remaining issues.
Speaking on his first full day back as Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said he is confident the plan will be agreed, adding: “I’m determined that we should be the generation of politicians that passes on the planet in a better condition than we inherited it”.
There were delays to almost a quarter of the measures in last year’s Climate Action Plan.
Mr Varadkar said ambitious targets are “very hard to meet” but the Government has met three-quarters of them.
However, he said he wants to see improvement next year.
I don’t believe in global warming at all, and I also don’t believe that if it was warming, it would be bad. This would obviously be a good thing, improving crop yields and preventing old people in Scandinavia, Canada, and Russia from freezing to death.
However, whether or not lowering the carbon in the atmosphere would artificially cool the weather is another issue completely. Given that carbon is such a tiny fraction of total “greenhouse gases,” I don’t really see how it could.
But it’s possible that carbon capture could remove so much of the carbon that it actually would make the world colder. Of course, all plants would die before the temperature was affected.
If people are coming here to escape climate change des that means there is no climate change in Ireland?
