"New projected Land emissions take up a greater & increasing fraction of the carbon budgets"
2nd post today: more detail:
➡️Realistic "sectoral ceiling" LULUCF values need to be set, else ceilings for other sectors will not be meaningful.).

DCU ECRN retweeted
Urgent implementation of all climate plans and policies, plus new measures, are needed for Ireland to meet the 51% emissions reduction target and put Ireland on track for climate neutrality by 2050. Link to ‘Ireland’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Projections’: bit.ly/3x2KCd1
"Revision of Forest emissions makes meeting Ireland's carbon budgets more difficult"
➡️Blog: New EPA Projections indicate likely serious failure to meet national carbon budgets, requiring a more effective & strengthened Climate Action Plan.

"How to keep the Government honest on climate change" by @AideenODoc, @swimsure & @autofac in @IrishTimes:
"Ultimately the 5-year carbon budget framework will only be useful if there is a timely data reporting cycle with quick-response policy correction."

Global agriculture only, with linear pathways to 2050, N2O -20%, CH4-46%, this chart shows GWP* solid lines for CH4 (blue) vs. N2O (orange), indicating how the warming offset outcome (red) changes over time. CH4 offsets N2O by 2070 so need CDR for ongoing N2O.

However, strong policy to achieve substantial+sustained reductions in methane & nitrogen inputs (in dairy & meat production) & protecting+increasing land carbon stocks in forest, grass & wet lands could result in a negative AFOLU carbon budget (in warming equivalent terms).

In society-wide national carbon budgeting consistent with #ParisAgreement goals, Ireland's remaining carbon budget is limited & rapidly exhausted.
A "climate negative" goal for agriculture (rather than insufficient "climate neutral") could ease energy transition costs & time.

NEW Blogpost: 'What is meant by a "stable cattle herd"?'
Methane emissions are important in carbon budgeting for agriculture & land use transition planning. Clarity is needed on *both* dairy & beef numbers & climate basis for policy.
