German gas emissions drop 4.2 percent in 2018
By EUobserver
Germany's government said greenhouse emissions in 2018 dropped by 4.2 percent, the largest drop since 2009. Warmer weather and more expensive fossil fuels were behind the fall, it said. NGOs such as Greenpeace criticised the lack of German government policy behind the emissions drop. "A warm winter cannot substitute successful climate policy. Germans simply used their heating less," said Greenpeace.
