'A deeply embarrassing blow': Ireland ranked worst in Europe for tackling climate change

climate change what a scam.

Tax carbon and stop taxing work

Not surprising, at all.

Total lack is of ambition and innovative thinking by government. Such a shame not to build on our obvious abilities to be clean & green. It's easy to make radical changes in a small economy epicfail

Quelle surprise! IE is building car parks and roads to beat the band with no oil resources and at the same time leaving rail lines like to Navan and the western rail corridor - not a clue

Ahh we'll just carbon tax the bollox out of our loyal citizens it be grand!

Am I right that this is only a measure of our willingness to change? We could always do better but reports like these merely deflect from the real offenders.

If people stopped buying cheap crap they don't need manufactured in China & East Asia then it would greatly improve the Climate. Shop local, buy locally produced goods, spend less time on smart phones these are the practical things everyone can do to improve the environment.

Embarrassment taxes on the way! 🤦‍♂️

Tax it and it'll go away

Fascinating crossover between anti-choice, anti-immigration and anti-environment in the replies here

Most of our politicians and government ministers are stuck firmly in the 1950s

UN are trying to bully us and yet again we bend over and take it all. Will we ever learn?

I feel another carbon tax hike to cover our 'embarrassment'

Irish Government environmental policy is an absolute travesty. Just look at Bord Na Mona practically commiting the climate equivalent of war crimes of the last 50 years!! Systematic destruction of the countries bogs for pennies!! Local authorities pro car infrastructure!!!

leo do your job, this is shocking

Pathetic.we could do so much better given that we have access to limitless you wind energy.

Who embarrassed by it? I for one certainly am not

A tiny country with a population of under 7m? Who gives a crap? Deal with the elephants in the room first ie China & the US.
