A Royal Meteorological Society report showed the impact of global warming on the UK, which Mr Miliband called “a stark warning.”
He added: “Our British way of life is under threat. We need to act.”
Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice said: “Utter nonsense being spouted by scaremonger in chief Miliband using a series of dodgy data.
“The climate has always changed and always will.
“Much better and cheaper that we adapt to it sensibly rather than arrogantly think we can stop the power of the sun and volcanoes.
“Miliband’s answer is to send us back to the dark ages, like cavemen.
“Reform’s answer is to adapt smartly and cleverly.”
The Office for Budget Responsibility said the green shift by 2050 will cost £800billion.
Shadow Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho said Mr Miliband is the “climate change threat” in the dash to meet green targets by 2050.
She said: “His plans will make our energy more expensive, offshoring industry to countries still powered by coal. That’s bad for global emissions.”
“He will make Britain a warning not an example to other countries around the world.”
