| Re: Big business and climate change
Unfortunately, the uncomfortable truth is that we could cut the UK's greenhouse emissions to zero and it would have little impact on climate change (other than by perhaps encouraging other countries to also tackle it). The big problem areas are the US, India and China, although the latter 2 are unlikely to take the problem seriously unless countries such as the US and UK are seen to tackle emissions.
The good news is that Bush finally seems to have accepted the existence of climate change and will shortly be proposing plans to cut emissions. Too little too late, but better than nothing.
