You have to ask ... (part 94)

Steven_L mentions the "Committee on Climate Change" and asks Who are they?.

*sigh*

The Committee on Climate Change "is an independent body established under the Climate Change Act to advise the UK Government on setting carbon budgets, and to report to Parliament on the progress made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions."

Not to be confused with the Sustainable Development Commission of course, which "is the Government's independent adviser on sustainable development, reporting to the Prime Minister, the First Ministers of Scotland and Wales and the First Minister and Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland. Through advocacy, advice and appraisal, we help put sustainable development at the heart of Government policy."

*/sigh*

I hope that clears things up.
