Committee on Climate Change being ignored by Government

24 February 2010 | Read the press release

Today the House of Commons voted down an amendment inserting a commitment to an emmissions performance standard for UK coal power. ClientEarth shows how the government has parted ways with the advice of the independent Committee on Climate Change. The government is bowing to pressure from the energy industry and failing to confront the EU on its misguided policy on stringent national emissions standards.
