The Low Carbon MPs

These are the committee members of the All-Party Parliamentary Climate Change Group, referred to a couple of posts down, to contrast with the Pro-Nuclear Group.

Notice they have no trade association behind them and claim no perks. Former DTI minister Byers is amongst them, as is Tim Yeo, former Tory Environment Minister. Significantly, no members of this anti-climate change group are also in the pro-nuclear group.
Purpose: To raise awareness of the threat of climate change and to promote policies which counter that threat.
