UK Gov’t Claims False Success on Climate

Here.

Excerpt:

I have often argued that there are two technical reasons why an international agreement to undertake mandatory emissions reductions will not work. The first is that the European Union is demonstrating that you can undertake solemn commitments to reduce emissions by ratifying the Kyoto Protocol and then do little or nothing to fulfill those commitments. The second is that it is extremely difficult to determine emissions levels in countries such as China that have poor record keeping and a history of fudging the numbers. It turns out that I was not suspicious enough. Even the British government was willing to fudge the numbers in order to be the world’s global warming leader without having to pay the costs.
