Scotland narrowly misses emissions targets again
The Scottish Government published the greenhouse gas emissions data for 2011 on 7 June, which reveal that Scotland narrowly missed its emissions target for the second year running. Emissions fell by 2.9% between 2010 and 2011, but fell just short of the 2011 target for adjusted figures, which take into account the EU Emissions Trading System.
