CLIMATE experts have slammed the SNP-Green Scottish government for having no plan to meet remaining targets, as the coalition crisis deepens.

Just one week after the SNP Net Zero Secretary Mairi McAllan plunged the future of the ruling SNP-Green Holyrood coalition into crisis by ditching targets to cut emission to 75 per cent 2030, efforts to meet remaining targets have been once again criticised by the statutory Climate Change Committee (CCC).

A CCC report last month branding Scottish government targets as “no longer credible” is thought to be behind the ditching of the 2030 goal, but a political crisis followed as outraged Green activists demanded the coalition agreement with the SNP be torn up over the move.
