Commenting on the government's announcement of a climate change bill, Greenpeace climate campaigner Charlie Kronick said:

"Public concern has forced ministers to move into a higher gear on climate change, but we still have no idea just how they intend to meet these new targets while they continue to back airport expansion, wasteful energy generation techniques and the dead end of nuclear power. We hope this bill will spark real change, with annual targets for carbon cuts, because CO2 emissions are going up under Labour and business-as-usual simply isn't working."
