Commenting on reports that the Government will announce how much carbon industrial plants will be allowed to emit under the EU Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme, Norman Baker MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, said:
"As more and more reports confirm that global warming is an increasing threat, the development of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme is certainly welcome.
"But it is no substitute for hard decisions by the Government, which should aim to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions from road transport.
"Emissions trading is a useful tool but the Government must not allow it to be the only weapon against climate change."
