You will often find climate campaigners at loggerheads with the government's claim of reducing emissions, and for good reason. Two reports from the Stockholm Environment Institute based at the University of York show that the government hasn't taken into account emissions from aviation, shipping and importing goods from overseas.

A brand new campaign has been launched in which you can Canvass your MP to bring in tougher targets on cutting CO2 emissions. This website was created within a week thanks to climate campaigners working round the clock to make it available to you to take action. The climate change bill proposed by the government promises emissions cuts of just 60 per cent. However, a much higher figure of at least 80 per cent is required for realistically tackling climate change.
