Climate change: someone else's mess

Just what they didn't want you to notice: a new report, out this week to co-incide with the Bali party, points out that contrary to Government figures, UK emissions have risen by up to 19%.

The report, by a team of economists led by Dieter Helm at Oxford University, examined the UK's emissions by consumption, not production, and also included emissions from international aviation and shipping. Their findings make a mockery of the Government's efforts to spin our CO2 impact; our official report to the UN, which ignored these sectors, reports a 15% decrease in emissions.
