Climate Change Bill must achieve results not just set targets
Commenting on the announcement that the Government is considering a climate change bill in the forthcoming Queen's speech, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, Chris Huhne MP said: "Targets are a good first step, but if targets could solve problems this would be the best governed country in the world. Where Labour and the Tories have fallen down is in failing to propose practical measures to change our behaviour, such as green taxes, better energy efficiency schemes for homes and tougher vehicle emission standards."
