Starting with the Climate Change Act of 2008, it covers 16 votes covering a range of approaches to reducing carbon emissions. Vote score methodologyThese 16 parliamentary votes on climate (the full list is at the bottom of this article) were chosen by the Guardian and DeSmog UK, which undertakes not-for-profit investigative environmental journalism, . The party average is based on MPs’ current party affiliation, which is not necessarily their party affiliation at the time of the votes. MPs’ interests methodologyEach individual’s record of interests was taken from the They Work for You website and saved as a text document. Every resulting interest was manually checked for errors and false positives, for example where one MP’s interests was erroneously listed on another MP’s page or where the term “BP” was detected because it formed part of a postcode.
