At long last the Chancellor appears to be waking up to the enormous threat posed by climate change and is taking some steps to put us in a better position to act.

Some countries like the U.S. find it difficult to go through the UN process and make binding commitments. Blair is trying to make a neutral space where they can share ideas. That’s fine as long...

He is right. The storm should be a warning to President Bush about the consequences of his climate change policies.

Many of us are extremely worried by the position of the European Union. The end date for talks should be set for 2008.

By downplaying clear targets and frameworks, … the Prime Minister is ignoring calls from UK companies who want a clear framework to operate within now. There has been a lot of discussion about the false...

We are going to war with the nuclear industry — but with a positive not a negative campaign.

The UK can meet its targets for tackling climate change and maintain fuel security by using clean, safe alternatives that are already available,

I fear this is another attempt to undermine Kyoto and a message to the developing world to buy US technology and not to worry about targets and timetables,

The Department of Transport’s own models on aviation growth show dramatic reductions in air travel when assumptions are added for fuel taxes and other factors,

The UK could be a world leader in developing a low-carbon nuclear-free economy.

It’s a load of rubbish,

WTO talks must be halted. There needs to be a fuller understanding of what is at stake, who will benefit and who will lose out.

Warm words and wooly commitments are not enough.

It’s a load of rubbish. You can see manufacturers using this as an argument for making more paper and recycling less.
