Climate change

• Change in Crops
• Increase in instance of pests
• Increased winter rainfall
• Increased extremes in summer

The Kyoto Protocol

• 1997 international agreement
• Reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to 94.8
  of 1990 levels by 2010
• EU target 8 reduction from 1990 to 2010
• Ireland target 13 increase
• Ratified February 16th 2005
