’It was on October 16, 2008, that the new secretary of state – Ed Miliband, by name – set us the legally binding goal of meeting the EU’s wildly ambitious target to cut carbon emissions by 80 per cent before 2050 (and how significant that no other country has followed his lead). When MPs of all parties voted to support Mr Miliband’s law, it hardly occurred to them that they were making the most crippling commitment in our peacetime history. The Climate Change Act must surely be amended or repealed. As for the Labour leader, if he could pose such a huge threat to our children’s prosperity as a mere climate change secretary, heaven help us if he becomes prime minister.
