CAT Joins Call for a Climate Bill

What are we calling for?
We are calling for a framework to be put in place that will deliver annual emissions reductions of 3% a year. Research shows that in order to avoid the worst climate change, 1990 emissions should be cut by 80%. If this cut is spread over 60 years between 1990 and 2050 an annual cut of 3% is needed.
EDM 178 Climate Change
That this House agrees with the Government's Chief Scientific Adviser that climate change is a threat to civilisation; welcomes the cross-party agreement in favour of major cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, and particularly in carbon dioxide emissions, by 2050; believes that such a long-term target will best be met through a series of more regular milestones; and therefore notes the Climate Change Bill that was presented by a cross-party group of honourable Members in the final days before the General Election, and hopes that such a Bill will be brought forward in this Parliament so that annual cuts in carbon dioxide emissions of 3 per cent. can be delivered in a framework that includes regular reporting and new scrutiny and corrective processes.
