Miliband: UK 'sleepwalking into a national security crisis'
Ed Miliband has attacked the Prime Minister for giving up the fight against climate change, warning that Britain is "sleepwalking into a national security crisis".
Miliband: Climate change cross-party consensus needed
Mr Miliband said: "The science is clear. The public know there is a problem. But, because of political division in Westminster, we are sleepwalking into a national security crisis on climate change. The terrible events of the last few weeks should serve as a wake-up call for us all."
Labour leader Ed Miliband has called for the cross-party consensus on climate change to be rebuilt.
The Labour leader said he had "genuinely believed" that Mr Cameron was sincere about his passion for green issues while in Opposition, but sacking Charles Hendry as energy minister and appointment of Owen Paterson - viewed as a climate change sceptic - as Environment Secretary suggested otherwise.
