Remember when David Cameron was going to save us all from CO2-induced fiery floods? Never mind

So here's a green keyword count for the prime minister's speech today at the Conservative party conference: Green: 2. Climate: 0. Environment: 0. Carbon: 0.

Both mentions of "green" were in passing. One was part of a wide-ranging blast by David Cameron at Labour's failings. The other - "green engineering" - also came as part of a list of technologies a new economy would be built on.

It was quite simply an atrocious speech for the environment
