I see Alex Salmond is up to his old tricks.
Scotland's First Minister was quite happy to parade on the world stage (well, not so much the stage but more the wings) at Copenhagen receiving plaudits about how Scotland has a "world-beating" 42% by 2020 emissions target.
Meanwhile, back home, he's bleating that Scotland can't do anything about green energy unless it gets independence.
He's tried this before, of course. Back in June, before the Climate Change Bill with that 42% target was voted into law, Alex Salmond was saying that we could be greener but because we didn't have independence we were stuck with the UK's 34%.
His bluff was called then. It should be called again at the next budget.
