Just How Big Is Tesco's Carbon Footprint?

The Observer today reports that 'Tesco's impact on the environment could be 12 times that the supermarket admits to'. Charity Christian Aid has accused the supermarket of failing to include the environmental damage caused by shoppers driving to its stores when it calculates the amount of CO2 it puts out.

Tesco do seem to show a strong commitment to reducing emissions but perhaps a simple way of doing this would be to stop building unpopular stores and work on improving online shopping instead?
