Critic: Dept. of Ecology releasing 'out of date' emissions data on climate goals

The article from MSN discusses criticism directed at the Washington State Department of Ecology for releasing outdated greenhouse gas emissions data, which some argue misrepresents the state's progress towards its climate goals. Critics, including environmental groups and policy analysts, point out that the data, which shows a decline in emissions, does not account for recent increases in emissions from sectors like transportation and industry. This outdated information could mislead the public and policymakers about the effectiveness of current climate policies. The Department of Ecology has acknowledged the issue and mentioned that they are working on updating their data collection and reporting methods to provide a more accurate reflection of current emissions levels. However, this delay in accurate reporting has raised concerns about transparency and the state's ability to meet its ambitious climate targets.
