    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.
