    Ireland's CO2 Emissions increase worst in Europe

    Our emissions rose 140% between 1990 and 2004.

    The Euro average was 25%.

    Any surprise, anyone?
    We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when creating them

    Not to worry. Labour have a plan to deal with climate change.

    They're going to introduce a standard €1 fare on Dublin Bus.

    Phew! What a relief!

    Well, if I knew how to turn off the public lighting in Clonshaugh industrial estate, which seems to be on all day every day, I would.

    That might help a wee bit too.

    Maybe because public transport doesn't entail enough runs per day and the fact that its a rip off compared to one getting a scooter. The Government are only to blame for this by building big roads and new motorways!

    Six times more money spent on Roads than Public Transport
    I think now this needs to be reversed

    Its too late. The culture of using our cars non-stop has become a part of ireland. What there needs to be is is a price reduction in public transport and more frequent runs to entice more people.
