Friends of the Earth: Lib Dems must show true colours
Friends of the Earth’s executive director Andy Atkins comments on reports that Lib Dem Cabinet ministers are split on the government’s emissions-cutting policy:
“It’s astonishing that Vince Cable is urging the government to snub its key advisor’s call for tougher climate targets – in opposition he argued for a zero-carbon economy.
“This advice is based on science and is supported by key business leaders.
“It’s time for the Lib Dems to show their true colours – and their commitment to a safe, green future.
“Chris Huhne must make it clear that the credibility of both the Coalition and his party are at stake – if the Government won’t stand up for climate action he should stand down.”
