I was wondering when our leader in waiting would address climate change. Not much of a mention when he launched his offical leadership push last Thursday. He saved the big environmental announced for the Sunday, revealing (or reheating?) plans to build five new eco-towns amounting to 100,000 new houses. The Spectator's political editor Fraser Nelson claims in the magazine's blog that Brown is not a full paid-up member of the urgent action school of politicians. "He has so far proved himself a bulwark against climate change alarmism. He’s fighting hype with hype, bangs the drum but does very little," he says.
What's particularly strange about this story is the only specific eco-town site mentioned in the S Times article was Oakington Barracks, near Cambridge. Us locals were under the impression that this is already earmarked to become Northstowe, the guided bus town. Is Gordon up to his old tricks, recycling old policies as new?
