Irish Examiner view: Climate denial has many forms

BirdWatch Ireland has called on MEPs to reject new €387bn CAP proposals in the European Parliament today. 

The Climate Action Bill is being reviewed by Oireachtas Climate Action Committee. A litany of witnesses has pointed out that the Bill is high on aspiration but low on compunction. 

They suggest the proposed legislation is all too vague on where enforcement responsibilities lie or who might be responsible for fines. This is more than disappointing, especially as the Supreme Court ruled that earlier climate legislation was so vague as to be pointless.
