Green dream

The UN Environmental Program recently said that the voluntary national contributions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions agreed three years ago in Paris would have to triple to cap global warming below 2C.

It will not happen. The US has reiterated its It beggars belief that £73,000 of taxpayers’ money was spent to design a logo for the new Scottish Benefits Agency.

The logo consists of three simple irregular rectangles meant to represent the outline of Scotland but bereft of any islands.

It would have been better, at a fraction of the cost, having a competition with schools to design a more meaningful logo to represent dignity and fairness in Scottish society.
