According to the Guardian, the statistics that were provided by the government could “mislead” the public.
According to governmental reports, compared to 1990, the CO2 emissions had fallen by 12.8%. Sir Michael Scholar argues that this number does not represent the actual decrease, but also includes carbon credits that were purchased by polluters. They were able to buy these credits because of an EU trading scheme. Since one third of the almost 13% consists of these carbon credits, it would be more realistic to establish a fall of 8.5%.
Scholar argues that in the future, ministers should offer the public a clearer overview of the reduction numbers and the way the numbers are calculated. Tim Yeo, chairman of the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee, agrees with Scholar. He thinks that the figures were not very clear, and that this issue should be dealt with as soon as possible.
