URGENT ACTION NEEDED TO HALT DESERTIFICATION – HUHNE

Wednesday 25 October 2006

Responding to new research from the Met Office showing that an additional quarter of the Earth’s land surface could be affected by drought by the end of this century, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, Chris Huhne MP said:

“This is yet more evidence of the chaos we will face if action is not taken on climate change.

“The Government must introduce measures including green taxes to bring about the changes in behaviour needed to halt climate chaos.

“Every day that the Government dithers brings us closer to the point of no return.”
