Ontario is not keeping pace with accelerating climate change effects and is unlikely to meet its 2020 target for greenhouse gas reductions, Environmental Commissioner Gord Miller said. The province will likely meet its 2014 target of a 6 percent cut in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels to 166 million metric tons, largely due to its closing down of the province's remaining coal-fired electricity generating plants. But it is not expected to meet its 2020 goal of a 15 percent reduction from 1990 levels, Miller said in a statement accompanying his annual climate change progress report to the provincial legislature.
