The Cock Tavern 23 Phoenix Rd, NW11HB London, United Kingdom Fund raiser to pay for legal support for the Buckingham Palace Four! In 2008, the UK Parliament passed the Climate Change Act almost unanimously. This historic piece of legislation set not just a legally binding target of at least an 80% cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, but also established the independent Committee on Climate Change to ensure we remain on track. Four years on, and vested interests have succeeded in undermining this political consensus. Despite the fact that the green economy is the only part of the UK economy that is actually growing, the Chancellor George Osborne, egged on by many Tory backbenchers, seems intent on bringing it to a grinding halt. His intention is to lock the UK economy back into dependence on fossil fuels in the guise of a new 'dash for gas'. The crunch point for the targets contained within the Climate Change Act will come this autumn: will the Energy Bill contain a target to clean up (decarbonise) the UK's electricity by 2030, as recommended by the Committe on Climate Change, or will unabated gas lay waste to the UK's emissions targets?
