UK’s greenhouse gas emissions up by a fifth

10th December 2007 by Sarah Whitworth1 Comment

The United Nations leaves out aviation, shipping and the carbon content of imports when it adds up greenhouse gas emissions, according to experts from Oxford University.

If these factors are included, it is claimed, Britons’ lifestyles have a much greater effect upon the climate than the modest decline in emissions recorded by the Government.

The report - ‘Too Good To Be True? The UK’s Climate Change Record’ - says the implications are stark. Britain has not yet - as ministers claim - broken the link between economic growth and emissions, a Telegraph article reports.
