      I mean our population increased like 50% since then, so it’s surprising that it’s decreased at all

      This doesn’t tell the full story. Ireland’s isn’t trying to reduce emissions so much from the 1990 level. Our target is a 51% cut on the 2018 level by 2030. The reason for that is that our economy was considered very underdeveloped in 1990 so it was agreed we could increase our emissions further from that level. By contrast, most other economies had had their industrialisation period already and were already seeing a decline in emissions then. It isn’t really right to look at this chart and make any conclusion about how Ireland is doing.

      Our GDP went from $49bn in 1990 to $600bn in 2025, which is 1500%.

      And our emissions have still dropped, including by another 2% last year in 2024.

      Easy to be critical (with some reason) but I’d like to see the growth of the economy and population over the same period.

      Considering how underdeveloped Ireland was (and still is) compared to the rest of Europe in 1990, that’s not that bad a stat tbh

      And all this while the US, China, India, Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, Turkey etc continue to increase their output.

      A lot of the countries doing the best have had a decline in population since 1990. Ireland has had a population increase of over 50% since then, so per capita we have really come down a long way since 1990.

      Jesus lads ye were breathing pure unfiltered smog in the 90’s.

      Way less people, more emissions

      Meanwhile;

      Romania has 4 million less people than in the 90’s.

      Bulgaria has 2 million less

      Estonia has 200k less.

      Poland has only 200k more people than in 1988.

      These countries do absolutely nothing and their emissions plummet.
