Scottish Government drops 2030 climate pledge

Màiri McAllan has confirmed that the Scottish Government is to scrap a legally binding commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 75% by 2030.

However, the Cabinet Secretary for Wellbeing Economy, Net Zero and Energy described the decision to ditch the key climate target as “a minor legislative amendment.”

The minister told MSPs that the government accepted a recent report by the Climate Change Committee (CCC) that this interim target was now “out of reach.”

She told MSPs that while progress in reducing emissions will continue to be reported annually, the government would move to a “target approach based on five yearly carbon budgets.”

The minister was forced to apologise to the chamber after details of the statement were leaked to press.

She said she had instructed the Scottish Government's Permanent Secretary to conduct a inquiry to find the leaker.

In her statement, Ms McAllan said the government needed to concentrate on hitting the ambition to be net zero by 2045 “at a pace and scale that is feasible, fair and just.”

Some advice on ferries from someone who might have some good ideas - not a politician of course... https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/242 ... ys-expert/

Net zero is not feasible, or fair, or just, anywhere, ever.

Of course my arguments in support of that view, whilst entirely logical and scientifically valid, are now officially a Hate Crime, and Disinformation, in Scotland, so I will be keeping them to myself.

Just don't muddy the discussion with facts or you'll be up before the 'beak'!

Facts, logic, .....
I reckon Captain Obvious is right up there with Adolf and Genghis as the most hated man in Leftdom.

Sturgeon doorstepped and explains what it's like at home at the moment. Awkward over the breakfast table maybe, discussing when the knock at the front door might be for her. Schadenfreude anyone, but maybe she can wriggle out of this one too?

I'd have thought that things had been frosty (no cereal pun intended) over the breakfast table for some time now, given their allegedly different proclivities. The former first minister appears to have added to her portfolio, too!

Brilliant news! With only 7 Green MSPs in Scotland they had far too much influence with two of them being Ministers as part of the power sharing deal. With the SNP now having to operate as a minority administration hopefully this is the beginning of the path to getting rid of them.

One of the contenders in the election is Kate Forbes, who as a former SNP 'Finance Minister' should be in a good position to advise on the current (ALLEGED) financial improprieties.
