Do they all support us number 13

Another couple of Labour MPs took a break from their summer holidays to meet us as we marched through Derbyshire: Judy Mallaber and Mark Todd (both Labour).

Rachel, our marcher from 'Newastle', spoke to Judy. Apparently Judy is supportive of the need for 80 per cent cuts and is lobbying the government to change their position. Judy is another who won't vote against the government. Climate change must not be a serious enough issue for MPs to endanger their careers.

Mark Todd responded that he's not sure about the usefulness of long-term targets (that's why we also need the government to be accountable for cutting emissions every year Mark). He queried whether 60 per cent cuts are possible, never mind 80 per cent.

We can respond that its not a question of feasibility; the impacts of climate change are too great for us to have any other option than to cut our emissions. We can also respond that their are loads of ways to cut emissions, the government just aren't doing them. Instead, they decide to build more runways.

But the main question I was left with was, if Mark Todd doesn't support radical reductions in carbon emissions, why did he pose for a smiley photo with us?
