Labour‘s failure to properly address the problem of climate change is “nothing less than a political crime”, Caroline Lucas, the leader of the Green party, said today.
Addressing her party’s annual conference, Lucas said 300,000 people were dying every year as a result of global warming and the main political parties had failed to show “real political leadership” on the issue.
She also insisted the Green party was growing as a political force and that Britain’s “wholly dysfunctional” political system needed fundamental reform.

There’s a lot of burn-out in the climate movement right now. A lot of tired people, a lot of grumpy people. I know – I am one!
I can completely understand why – we’ve had a year of not only hard campaigning, but also a particularly distressing one. Dashed hopes aren’t easy to bear, a split movement is difficult to deal with, and too much of the year has been spent campaigning ‘against’ something instead of ‘for’ something else.
But, hard though it may be, Id argue that now is the time when we need to pull out all stops and start campaigning stronger, louder and better!
