That is 10.6 per cent below their level in 1990 - but compared with the Government's own target of a 20 per cent cut - or even the 12 per cent reduction required to meet Kyoto, they are not meeting requirements.

Their goal was 20, and their obligation was 12, but they got 10.6. How did the US, with no goal or obligation, do, as a reference for comparison? Is the 10% reduction just a result of natural technological adoption, or did they do something to get there?
