At the last meeting of the County Council the Liberal Democrats attempted to sign the council up to the 10:10 campaign, a pledge to show leadership and reduce our carbon emissions by 10% in 2010.

Surprisingly the debate led to the discovery that a number of Conservative members are not convinced that climate change is actually happening!  You would think that the almost universal scientific acceptance would have convinced all but those with vested interests. 

Instead of a 10% reduction in one year then returning to the administrations target of 4% they stuck to the Greenest County target of  just 4% per year
