Greenpeace slams Government Climate Change Programme review

28 March, 2006

Responding to today's news that the government is set to miss its 2010 CO2 reduction target, Greenpeace Senior Climate Campaigner Charlie Kronick said:

"This review is pitiful. CO2 emissions are rising, the target's getting further away and the Government has introduced no new measures to combat this. Failure of government departments to agree a clear plan of action has lead to a review that is nothing more than an abdication of responsibility. At a time when we desperately need bold leadership, yet again Tony Blair fiddles while the world burns."
