More on CO2 emissions, UK results
Following on to yeasterday's post on worldwide CO2 emissions, comes the news that the UK is also missing it's targets. From BBC news.
The UK is unlikely to meet its target of reducing CO2 emissions by 20% by 2010, a government report says.
The Climate Change Programme review projects that new and existing policies will deliver a cut of 15-18% by the end of the decade.
Environment Secretary Margaret Beckett said the government was not giving up on meeting the 20% goal, but said more had to be done to reach it.
They have also published a clever Electricity calculator, which lets you play at being the government, and making the choice of how you will generate the UK's energy supplies, balancing fossil, nuclear, or renewable fuel production, against demand.
