UK – CBI want more done to combat climate change
Business leaders have delivered a surprise attack on the government’s environmental policy, arguing that ministers are not doing enough to cut global warming emissions or make sure the UK does not run out of power.
The CBI says billions of pounds of necessary investment will move to the US and China unless the government takes “urgent action”.
It comes amid widespread disappointment that the G20 heads of state failed to come up with any real push on green issues as part of a $1.1tn (£743bn) financial aid package for the global economy.
I live for the day that the US Chamber of Commerce, the Manufacturers association or any other American business organization complain because the government isn’t doing enough to combat climate change. Just for the record astroturfing does not count.
Anyone picture Cheney, Bush and their cronies leading the environmental charge? – me neither.
