Climate bill sets carbon target

A climate change bill will make the government's long-term goal of a 60% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 a legally binding target.

The bill, outlined in the Queen's Speech, will also establish a "Carbon Committee" to ensure the target is met.

But it makes no reference to annual CO2 reductions targets, which opposition parties and environmentalists deem necessary to tackle global warming.

However, ministers said that they would "consider appropriate interim targets".

The legislation will also create new powers to ensure the target of cutting CO2 by 60% from 1990 levels by 2050 is acheived.
