Comments on: UK Government Misses Emission Targets at the Taxpayers’ Expense http://climateresearchnews.com/2009/08/uk-government-misses-emission-targets-at-the-taxpayers%e2%80%99-expense/ Bridging the gap between reality and official science Tue, 04 Jan 2011 10:26:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Richard Morley http://climateresearchnews.com/2009/08/uk-government-misses-emission-targets-at-the-taxpayers%e2%80%99-expense/comment-page-1/#comment-34233 Richard Morley Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:52:08 +0000 http://climateresearchnews.com/?p=1214#comment-34233 Very interesting that the UK announces that it is missing its emissions targets just as Brazil announces big targets of its own. Brazil to propose voluntary reductions of 38-42% by 2020 at the Copenhagen climate change conference in December. This voluntary emission cuts pledge, made by Brazil, heaps more pressure on developed nations to announce and stick to more ambitious carbon reduction targets of their own. We at Envido think that by stepping up to its side of the deal, Brazil is challenging the developed countries of the world to do the same. However, the Brazilian government should really take on concrete emission targets, to ensure the carbon cuts actually materialise. Clearly the UK are not good role models for this though Very interesting that the UK announces that it is missing its emissions targets just as Brazil announces big targets of its own.
