16/03/2009 - The one good thing about the economic downturn was that it was supposed to cut greenhouse gas emissions - but it hasn't even done that.
Fresh data indicates Australia's emissions continued to grow in the December quarter.
Experts had tipped the economic slowdown would shrink Australia's carbon footprint because there would be less industrial, agricultural and construction activity.
The Climate Institute has crunched the data for electricity and fuel use for the December quarter and found emissions from those sectors rose by 800,000 tonnes.
