Europe cannot win the fight against climate change unless it ends its love affair with cars and planes, a top European Union agency warned on Monday.
The European Environment Agency said that the EU would have hit its Kyoto protocol target of cutting greenhouse gas emissions 8 per cent between 1990 and 2012 years ago had it not been for the fast increase from transport. All other sectors of the economy from agriculture to power generation cut emissions between 1990 and 2005, its report said, while transport grew 26 per cent.
