ESRI urges action on climate change

[size="6"]agreed we are a blip on the planet in an economic mess to epic extremes.

Stay out of kyoto and forget the carbon taxes. It will destroy our economy[/size]

We need to deindustrialise to fight Climate Change.

"Each year the World Economic Forum convenes in Davos, Switzerland. Over a thousand CEOs, prime ministers, finance ministers, and leading academics gather in February to attend meetings and set the economic agendas for the year ahead.

What if a small group of these world leaders were to conclude that the principle risk to the earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact on the environment. Will they do it? Will the rich countries agree to reduce their impact on the environment? Will they agree to save the earth?

The group's conclusion is 'no.' The rich countries won't do it. They won't change. So, in order to save the planet, the group decides: isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring that about?

Is this the latest ESRI angle to ingratiate themselves to the 'chattering classes'? Well, I have some advice for the ESRI. Get your economic forecasting in order before you diversify into discussions about soft issues like the environment.

There are 4m people in Ireland, 60m in UK and 300m in USA. How much if anything can we achieve? Very very little is the answer and if it costs any money, we cant afford it. The established economic experts, including the ESRI have seen to that.

This is what it is about

The real story behind this press release is that the Green Party are preparing the public for the financial hit that the phase 3 EU carbon certificates will present us with.
The original phase 1 certs were priced at €50 per ton, however so many were issued that the real price fell to about 10c per ton, phase 2 addressed this to some extent, however the phase 3 certs will be strictly limited in issue and as Ireland is almost entirely dependant on carbon producing power stations, moneypoint alone is responsible for tens of thousands of tons, the result will be Ireland's promotion to the most expensive electricity in Europe by far and a new range of carbon taxes.
