Two pieces of news today make Business Secretary John Hutton look pretty stinky on climate change. "UK civil servants from the Department of Business, enterprise and regulatory reform have a different strategy and are pushing for cuts" and "John Hutton, the Business Secretary, wants to approve the project [Kingsnorth] even if it is not chosen for an experiment in which its carbon emissions would be "captured" and stored under the sea."

However it's worth bearing in mind that with the Labour government all reading Machiavelli at the moment, the 2 stories coming out on the same day are unlikely to be a coincidence. Also note that no side of the Kingsnorth "split" is suggesting it shouldn't be built at all. 

• UK lobbying for aviation exemption
• Govt split on Kingsnorth expansion
