If you thought the ConDems weren't interested in climate change...

There have been rumblings over the past few months about the lack of emphasis that the Tories and Lib Dems are putting on climate change. For example:

• Support for coal
• DECC under threat of closure
• Deep water drilling in the UK
• Timber and renewables pledges dropped

While this is hardly suprising given that Lib Dems have only ever been interested in winning elections and saying anything that appears popular, and the Tories - well are Tories... Anyway they have been too busy slashing and burning government (despite the UK having a lower national debt than France and Germany) to worry about a burning world. Sadly, it seems that Labour are following in their footsteps.

Personally, I thought Ed Miliband was OK as climate change secretary, but now as leader of the Labour Party he has appointed Meg Hillier as his Shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary. Jim @ The Daily (Maybe) has suggested that we take a look at her voting record which you can see at Public Whip which I've summarised this below.

Her record is pretty damning, you'll need to scroll down for her climate change record as I've left in other interesting records. If you want action on climate change, you won't find it in any of the big three.
