DUBLIN, Ireland: Cutting Ireland's motorway speed limit to 110 km/h could significantly reduce carbon emissions, according to Green Party MEP Ciaran Cuffe. Cuffe suggests that reducing car and truck speeds by 10 km/h would lower emissions from Ireland's largest carbon-emitting sector: transport. Transport accounted for 40 percent of the country's energy-related emissions in 2018 and continues to rise.The
