"Allowing the Keystone pipeline to...

After the figures were adjusted for the cold weather and a greater use of coal to make electricity, emissions fell - but by 1% compared with the 3% target. The report also warned the Green Deal scheme, designed to incentivise people to insulate their homes, appeared to have had the opposite effect. There...
