Scotland to ditch key climate change target

What’s with all this ditching of climate targets at the moment? It’s positively trendy! Meanwhile Dubai flooding, Arctic permafrost officially becoming a source of greenhouse gases, etc etc etc

[*EDIT: I shouldn’t have shared this and headline uncritically and thrown SNP together with everyone else “ditching”. Reasons are more complicated - Westminster related - in Scotland. See replies].
