Press Association: David Cameron and George Osborne must "recommit" to tackling climate change, end squabbles within Government and work towards strict cuts in carbon emissions, Lord Stern said today. The author of the Economics of Climate Change, a major Treasury review into the issue in 2006, said the "bickering" between the Treasury and the Department for Energy and Climate Change was throwing investment into doubt. Lord Stern urged the Chancellor to use his March Budget to commit to the fourth carbon budget...

"O Tide that waits for no man / Spare our coasts!" sing the Suffolk fishing villagers in Britten's 1945 opera Peter Grimes, and, over the next 50 years from now, hundreds more homes could be claimed by rising water, inland as...
