Some of Ireland’s top climate scientists and legal experts have written to the Taoiseach, Tanaiste and leader of the Green Party saying that they are seriously concerned that the sectoral emissions ceilings announced by Government last month are flawed.
The academics wrote an open letter in which they expressed their “serious concerns” that the Government’s approach to the sectoral emissions ceilings is “flawed both in law and in science”.
They also say that the Government’s strategy carries “grave risks” that will undermine the Climate Act.
