Miliband will ramp up net zero drive to ‘compensate’ for third Heathrow runway, says Harman
Harriet Harman said Ed Miliband would push the Government to step up its efforts on the green agenda to “compensate” for the decision to back a third runway at Heathrow Airport.
Mr Miliband, the Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary, threatened to resign over expansion of the airport in 2009 but has ruled out quitting this time after Rachel Reeves announced Government support for the project.
Baroness Harman said Mr Miliband would find the situation “uncomfortable” but she believed he would stay in the Cabinet to “put his shoulder to the wheel” on the net zero drive.

Presumably Miliband won't need to ramp up any compensation until the third runway is built, so he has no need to put his shoulder to the wheel and strain every sinew just yet.
He probably sees those who oppose Net Zero a bad eggs and although the fight against climate change is an uphill battle, it is better to be safe than sorry in case a perfect storm of catastrophes is caused by our neglect of measures which in reality are as easy as pie and not the can of worms sceptics claim.
