Should Scotland be setting an example to the world on climate change?
It would certainly be a big improvement on being known as the heart attack capital of Europe, a knife crime black spot, the heart of the Swine Flu outbreak etc etc.
But will it really benefit us to be a beacon of green progress? And don't our green achievements fall within Britain's international commitments on climate change? I hope all our wind farms aren't going to let England off the hook.

These are only promises. The targets haven't been met yet. I can't see how Scotland can really improve its environment – forget abstract figures about carbon dioxide – without radically improving its transport system. Government policies don't seem to have any effect on ending the gridlock on our roads.
