Cameron's climate change announcement just 'empty rhetoric' - Chris Huhne MP
Responding to David Cameron's announcement that the Tories support scrapping the Climate Change Levy (CCL), Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, Chris Huhne MP said: "David Cameron has announced that he would abolish the climate change levy, but he has still not put forward a concrete alternative. This is yet another example of more empty rhetoric from the Tories. "The Climate Change Levy may be flawed, but it has reduced emissions. David Cameron should join the Liberal Democrats in supporting the increase of the CCL rate recently announced in the budget. "Mr Cameron has failed to grasp the nettle of environmental taxation. He is perpetuating the Tory-Labour myth that the planet can be made sustainable without changing personal behaviour.
