why are goals always compared to 1990 levels? The Millennium Development Goals were designed in 2000 but are all measured against 1990 levels. And the EU emissions reductions targets, agreed in 2007, are also against 1990 levels. Why? Do the bureaucrats of transnational organisations all really love Twin Peaks? And isn’t it kind of cheating? If I lost ten pounds in two months, and then loudly declared my intention to lose a stone (against the levels of two months previous), that goal wouldn’t actually be that demanding, now, would it? I think I’m going to aim to increase the amount of my time I spend in a godforsaken office by 50 hours a week compared to 1990 levels. Oh look, finished!
