EUROPEAN ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE
Caroline Lucas MEP talks us through the new package of targets and policies
on climate change that have just been announced by the European Union. There
are new targets on CO2 emissions, renewable energy, energy efficiency and
biofuels. We also discuss the effectiveness of EU climate action on
aviation, road transport, emissions trading, decentralised energy and, er,
lightbulbs!
