UK CO2 emissions rise faster than EU average
by Grant Draper
June 2, 2008
Plans to cut emmisions with the EU carbon trading scheme by 20% by 2020 may have to be altered, with an overall European increase of under 1%, but still equating to 16 tonnes of CO2.
New figures show Britain’s emmisions increasing by 2.2%, and Germany’s and Spain’s also on the increase.
The EU are looking to point fingers, and who better than Germany (an increase of 8.99 million tonnes), Spain (an increase of 6.79 million tonnes), Britain (an increase of 5.42 million tonnes) and Czech Republic (an increase of 4.21 million tonnes).
