Q3: What are you doing personally to tackle climate change?
Brown: I've been on trains not planes... only been on one plane this election. We've got a climate change act - first in the world. Wants to explore nuclear power and change our dependence on oil.
Cameron: Has proper insulation in his house... cheaper and greener. He has come out against the 3rd runway at HEathrow, going instead for high speed rail.
Clegg: He also takes the train, but is aware he cannot do enough and does not do enough. He finds it irrational that the plane tax system is on passengers, and not on planes. As that will cut down on unnecessary flights.
Comment: David Cameron has a private jet that is flying him around this election campaign, he has absolutely no credibility in this issue. Clegg comments that nuclear power will take too long to develop, instead we should develop mass insulation programmes. An interesting idea - nuclear energy seems to be still suspect. Brown stands by it. Clegg brings up the copenhagen summit... global problem and global response needed. Brown constantly tells us that Clegg is anti-USA... bizarre comment. Clegg responds using the magic words 'special relationship'.
