Scottish Conservatives and SNP ‘all talk but no substance’ on climate change, says Anas Sarwar

SCOTTISH Labour leader Anas Sarwar blasted the SNP and the Conservatives today for being “all talk but no substance” on climate change, claiming that his party would deliver a green recovery for Scotland. 

Mr Sarwar warned that without further action to reduce carbon emissions, Scotland’s credibility on the world stage could be damaged going into this November’s UN COP26 summit on climate change.

He hit out at both the British and Scottish governments over their failure to meet their own climate targets, with emissions expected to increase this year following a lull during the coronavirus pandemic.
