So this deceitful hypocrite finally shows who his real friends are:
Conservative peer and former chair of the Climate Change Committee submits witness statement in support of legal action accusing government of breaching Climate Change Act
Lord Deben has today made a dramatic intervention in the on-going High Court hearing on a series of legal challenges alleging the government’s decarbonisation plans are inadequate and in breach of the UK’s Climate Change Act.
The Conservative peer, former Environment Secretary, and former chair of the Climate Change Committee (CCC) submitted a witness statement in support of the legal challenge from campaign group Friends of the Earth, which is one of three separate but related challenges being considered by the High Court this week in a ‘rolled up’ hearing.
The challenges from Friends of the Earth, ClientEarth, and The Good Law Project all allege the government’s Carbon Budget Delivery Plan (CBDP), which was released last March, is insufficiently detailed and risks the UK missing its legally binding emissions targets.
