| Britain will need to accept even deeper cuts in greenhouse gases by 2020 to play its part in safeguarding the climate, government advisers will warn. The Committee on Climate Change will lay down UK carbon budgets for the next three five-year periods.

The committee will tell the government to improve its current 2020 target of a 26% CO2 cut (based on 1990 levels). source: bbc |
