Government must raise its game on climate change

Responding to the launch of the government's campaign on climate change, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment spokesman, Norman Baker MP, said:

"It is welcome for the government to raise awareness of the threat of climate change, but the urgent need is for them to raise their game to. Only a system of mandatory national targets on carbon emissions will deliver the results we need. The government needs to show it is serious about action, not just public relations."
