UK GHG Emissions Up 0.5% In 2006 To 658 Million Tons - Reuters
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's greenhouse gas emissions rose last year, the government said on Thursday, despite the country's claims to be a world leader in the fight against climate change.

Emissions of the total basket of six greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol on global warming last year rose 0.5 percent to 658.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Production of the commonest man-made greenhouse gas carbon dioxide was also up, by 1.25 percent year on year, mostly because power stations switched to high-carbon coal from gas because of higher gas prices.

Britain claimed two weeks ago "international landmark" proposals to introduce legally binding emissions targets.

1. pollute all you want, buy carbon offsets
the EU's business-as-usual carbon policy
is obvious. Make the numbers add up correctly
with low cost carbon offsets.
