"The Environment is the Prime Minister's blind spot.

"He has no answer to how, having only cut CO2 emissions by 0.2% since he came to power, he will meet his target to cut it a further 12% by 2010.

"The Prime Minister clearly doesn't regard the environment as a priority and he won't take the tough decisions necessary to address the environmental problems we all face."
