Almost two decades after B.C. committed to slash greenhouse gas emissions, the provincial government reported one of the largest annual increases in decades and conceded that it won’t meet its 2025 target.

The revelations were in the fine print of its new climate change accountability report released Tuesday. It shows emissions spiking thanks to increases in sectors like gas fracking and transportation.

The province now estimates it will miss its emissions reduction target for this year and fall far short of its promised reductions by 2030.

Is anyone on the planet? Goals are easy to set, action is hard.

Action is especially hard when you're not even trying.
