On 8 November, visitors to the Environment Agency's website shot up to 27,000 - 10,000 more than the daily average. They came to view the long-awaited CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme's perform ance league table, published that morning. Thousands of public and private sector organisations had their carbon footprints newly exposed because, by law, they had to.

But the national media almost entirely ignored the league table.
