The intervention comes as bungling Energy Secretary, Mad Ed Miliband faces a grilling over his eco diktats[/caption]
Sir Tony’s scathing comments were made in the foreword to a new report from his own think tank, the Tony Blair Institute.
The Labour grandee accused ministers of being “terrified” to admit their green rules aren’t working.
He also argued the climate debate was “riven with irrationality.
Sir Tony said: “Present policy solutions are inadequate and, worse, are distorting the debate into a quest for a climate platform that is unrealistic and therefore unworkable.

“Too often, political leaders fear saying what many know to be true: the current approach isn’t working.
“But they mustn’t be silent – there’s a new coalition to build; one that unites disillusioned activists with technologists and policymakers ready to act.”
