      I guess it could be worse…. Belgium like 2 months ago were getting dragged by the EU for not even having submitted their plan to meet 2030 targets. Or could be Germany or Italy who’ll likely just have to buy up any credits they can get their hands on to even come close

      The Irish government are the only stupid pricks that would actually pay these

      Currently no country in Europe is going to meet these targets so the likelihood of anyone paying any of these fines is low.

      Most likely outcome is goalposts are moved to 2035 or 2040.

      Nobody is paying any fines as not remotely enough countries will meet the targets. It’s just not going to be politically possible to enact massive tax raises or massive austerity to pay fines in a world where most of the planet doesn’t give a shit.

      EU: “You failed to reach the targets now you owe us 26 Billion”

      Ireland: “Doubles or quits?”

      Your income -> taxes/fines -> others pockets -> sole role of government these days.

      1. It’s not a fucking “target” f you face massive “”fines”” for not reaching it. That’s an ultimatum 

      2. Fining a country for not reducing emissions enough up to now is perhaps the effective way to make it even harder for them to reduce emissions in the future.

      Are we using children’s hospital as a unit for €2.3bn? How many do we need? The article is alright but that headline is wild.

      Only 11??? Sure that’s only small cha…… {recalls the crime of costs}…..wait a second!?!!?!!

      How the fuck does the EU expect a country to lower emissions in the future if they take away what little money that country had to do so.

      What are they going to do? Throw us in jail? I’ll take chances in court.

      “11 National Children’s Hospitals worth of fines” Original budget or extra spicy?

      We voted in the greens and immediately voted them out because we couldn’t even take some minor climate measures. Now everyone commenting here is acting the victim. Climate change isn’t a new obligation. We rightly signed up to the Paris agreement and wrongly figured signing up to something is enough rather than actually rolling up our sleeves and getting to work.

      If the broke basket case that is Greece can do it we have no excuse other than accepting we are failing.
