CAMPAIGNERS' FURY AT GREEN TARGET AXE

ENVIRONMENTAL groups reacted with anger yesterday as the SNP-Green government scrapped a key 2030 climate target.

Campaigners hit out at the move to ditch the aim of slashing Scotland's emissions by 75 per cent by the end of the decade as "the worst environmental decision in the history of the Scottish Parliament" and condemned new measures as "weak" and "reheated".

Net Zero Secretary Mairi McAllan insisted to MSPs that the goal of achieving net zero for Scotland by 2045 five years ahead of the UK - remained intact.
