UK CO2 emissions rising, government advisers warn

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22267231

A new report has laid bare the UK's pretensions to have cut greenhouse gas emissions over recent years.

Ministers have claimed global leadership in reducing CO2 emissions and urged other nations to follow suit.

But the official Climate Change Committee (CCC) said that the UK's total contribution towards heating the climate has actually increased.

This is because the UK is importing goods that produce CO2 in other countries.
