Commenting on the climate change conference taking place in Cambridge today, Norman Baker MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, said:
"Given the enormous scale of the climate change problem, it is right to consider drastic measures. But the main thrust of our efforts must be to reduce carbon emissions by adopting sensible energy and transport strategies.
"Sadly, energy consumption is going up and today we have learned that car sales have reached a record high.
"While it is true that new cars are cleaner than older cars, far more should be done to reduce the need to travel at all. Where travel is necessary, we must make sure there is a clean, safe, reliable and affordable public transport alternative."
