    Scotland to ditch key climate change target

    The Scottish government is to ditch its flagship target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 75% by 2030.


    The final goal of reaching "net-zero" by 2045 will remain, but BBC Scotland News understands the government’s annual climate targets could also go.

    Ministers have missed eight of the last 12 annual targets and have been told that reaching the 75% milestone by the end of the decade is unachievable.

    A statement is expected at Holyrood on Thursday afternoon.

    And as sure as eggs are eggs, the 2045 target will go by the board as well.

    No matter how much politicians want to turn back the tide, reality will always win out.

    The only question is much cost and economic destruction will we incur as a consequence?
