Climate change work 'held up'
AN Edinburgh University scientist has warned that the Government is "dithering" and lacks leadership over the implementation of a key weapon in the flight against climate change.
Professor Stuart Hazeldine is an expert in carbon capture and storage systems, a technology that allows fossil fuel burning power plants to capture harmful emissions and store them safely.
The technology has been hailed as a central feature of carbon emission reduction strategies by governing bodies in the UK, the EU and the USA. However, Mr Hazeldine said that work has not been progressing fast enough.
