San Diego Aims to Cut Natural Gas to Buildings voiceofsandiego.org - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from voiceofsandiego.org Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The office of newly minted Mayor Todd Gloria released a climate report this week that claimed the city of San Diego has cut greenhouse-gas emissions by a whopping 25 percent over the last decade.
That’d be an incredible feat and reason to celebrate for any city in California if it were true.
Since former-Mayor Kevin Faulconer adopted the city’s climate plan in 2015, the city has relied on faulty data that massively exaggerates cuts to its largest source of climate pollution: tailpipe emission from cars and trucks.
In fact, according to the flawed calculations, the city met its 2020 target for slashing greenhouse gases before the climate blueprint was even approved.
