Climate Change Act must set 'net zero' emissions target by 2020, experts say

Britain's climate change targets must be strengthened by 2020 in order to meet stringent international targets, a new report  has warned.
A new report states the UK must set new targets to ensure
 greenhouse gas emissions are balanced by the removal
of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
The nation must strive to cut its emissions to “net zero”, the point at which annual greenhouse gas emissions are balanced by the removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, the experts at the London School of Economics (LSE), stated. 

Achieving such a target could require anything from planting more trees to developing new technologies that suck carbon dioxide from.”
