*UK carbon emissions still higher than when labour came to power, FoE, February 3 Friends of the Earth, February 3 "UK emissions (final 2007 estimates) are slightly lower than 2006, but they are not falling nearly fast enough. The figures distort the picture by failing to include the UK's share of international shipping and aviation emissions - the reality is that UK carbon dioxide emissions are still higher than when Labour came to power in 1997, despite repeated promises of significant cuts." "The Government's failing energy strategy must be completely overhauled. It must focus on a huge expansion in green sources of power and cutting energy waste - and plans to build new coal-fired power stations and bigger airports must be scrapped." topic
