Local MP Calls for Stronger Climate Change Bill

Andrew MacKinlay (Thurrock) is among over 240 UK MPs calling on Prime Minister Gordon Brown to support a stronger Climate Change Bill by including gases caused by aviation - a leading and growing cause of global climate change.

Friends of the Earth have led the campaign for a strong Climate Change law through The Big Ask. The law, which is set to be introduced this summer, is the world’s first climate change legislation but still needs to be strengthened , say Friends of the Earth, if the UK is to play a leading role in tackling climate change.
