Connie Hedegaard insists tougher carbon [swindle] targets will boost European economy | Environment | guardian.co.uk

Europe's climate chief insisted on Monday that tougher greenhouse gas targets would improve the EU's economic performance, rather than push businesses overseas, as companies and green campaigners tussled over whether current emissions goals were too weak.

Connie Hedegaard, EU commissioner for climate change, told the Guardian: "It's very important that everyone understands that to produce more does not mean you have to emit more. That was 20th century business, this is the 21st-century model."
