How?

A simple question in response to what I see as a rather over optimistic comment - "UK can meet an 80 per cent CO2 target".

We are already miles away from missing the 20% from renewables by 2012. An 80% reduction in total emissions by 2050? Well, that's going to require some catastrophic events to occur in order to catalyse the political will to really push for genuine reductions.

But, I suppose, its just another target, so it doesn't really matter, does it?
