More details

Just this past Monday, a government report warned that urgent action would be needed to protect Britain from flooding, deadly heatwaves, and water shortages caused by global warming. We need a goverment that is committed to tackling these issue rather then placing them out of site and out of mind.

With a cabinet full of climate sceptics its is now more important then ever that there be a separate government department tackling these issues.
