ePolitix - Global warming targets 'to be missed by large margin': "The government is set to miss its target on reducing carbon dioxide emissions 'by a large margin', according to experts.
A report published by Cambridge Econometrics on Monday warned that current policies would not meet the goal of a 20 per cent cut in the UK's emissions of the global warming gases by 2010.
The study singled out the transport and household sectors as key sources of pollution.
They currently account for around 40 per cent of the UK�s emissions and are expected to grow."
