David Cameron urged to restore green credentials with return to Arctic
An influential cross-party group of MPs has challenged David Cameron to return
to the Arctic, accusing his government of being dangerously complacent about oil
exploration in the region.
In a pointed reference to the Prime Minister's famous photograph with Arctic huskies in 2006,
the Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) warns that his lack of decisive action to curb oil and
gas activities there risks fuelling "dangerous climate destabilisation".
The photograph, taken in Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, was part of Mr Cameron's drive
to present himself as a modern, green politician. On that trip, he pledged to lead a "new green
revolution" - a message memorably repeated four years later, when Mr Cameron announced
n May 2010 that his newly formed coalition would be "the greenest government ever".
The Prime Minister had fallen well short of his environmental pledges.
