Low Carbon Show #4: Climate Bill
First Broadcast: 29 May 2007
Featuring:
- David Miliband MP
- Dr Alice Bows
- Martyn Williams
The UK is writing carbon dioxide targets into law. But is the draft Climate
Change Bill strong enough to ensure the UK plays a fair role in avoiding
dangerous climate change? We interview Environment Secretary, David
Miliband, and get informed comment from Dr Alice Bows (Tyndall Centre) and
Martyn Williams (senior parliamentary campaigner, Friends of the Earth).
- Why is the government using a target that is based on outdated science?
- Is it right that the government would be allowed to meet 50% of its
targets by buying up emissions credits from abroad?
- Why aren't emissions from aviation and shipping included in the Bill?
