As an environmentalist, Camilla Cavendish has been chairing a panel about why politicians aren't more serious about climate change. She shares her opinion that the government should remove some of the pressure they exert upon individuals to tackle Climate Change, as it is their responsibility to tackle the problem with policy-making. Cavendish explains the outline of the debate and the central issues surrounding it, including the argument for stronger regulation and an increase in investment for renewable energy.
