General election: Green Party plan £100bn a year spend to tackle climate change

"Even that target we might not be able to reverse some breakdown."On the large scale borrowing proposed, Dr Alex Armitage, who wrote the party's policy on drugs, said:"Right now borrowing is cheap. In 50 years time we will be experiencing climate breakdown."Only that bold vision that we have got will create the impetus."By Rob Powell, political correspondent

To achieve that they'd spend £100bn a year - bigger than the entire annual budget of the Department for Education - with most of it funded by borrowing. Often stereotyped as the"nice party", the Greens are less clear about what it is they would force people to stop doing and how they would punish those resistant to changing their behaviour.
