"Seattle's Greenhouse Gas Emissions in 2008 Were Below 1990 Levels" [1]

"The city of Seattle announced this afternoon that its greenhouse gas emissions in 2008 were 7 percent below what they were in 1990 — a target the city had hoped to meet by 2012. But it's not at all clear how or if the city will still meet the goal three years from now."

Craig Welch reports for the Seattle Times December 8, 2009.
