Cameron's climate change claptrap

The Liberal Democrats have released a dossier showing that the Tories may have started to talk green, but are continuing to act dirty. Commenting, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, Chris Huhne MP said "The Tories have been woefully irresponsible - they talk green but act dirty. David Cameron drives a car that emits more carbon than all 10 of the best-selling cars in Britain. It appears that the real Tory motto is do what we say, not what we do. "The Tories are a shambles on green taxes. George Osborne says he favours green taxes, but the special commission he set up to look at taxes did not come up with a single plan for green taxation. This proves that the Tories are all mouth and no trousers on the environment. The voters are waking up to the fact that the Tories have no proposals for tackling climate change, merely hot air and claptrap."
