Washington state corrected a 96-fold error in climate data, reducing reported emissions cuts from 7.5M to 78,000 tons due to a clerical mistake.
Washington state corrected a major data error that had inflated greenhouse gas reductions from eight Climate Commitment Act projects by 96 times, revising the claimed emissions cuts from 7.5 million to 78,000 metric tons.
The mistake, attributed to a clerical error, was discovered during an annual report review by the Department of Ecology, which is now auditing over 3,600 projects.
Officials acknowledged the error and pledged improved reporting through a new online tool, while critics question the program’s effectiveness and transparency amid rising fuel costs and questionable cost-per-ton reductions.
