Blair's failing the climate - Brown, what will you do?

Volunteers dump coal outside government building

The world's leading climate scientists released their latest report today that says even the oil barrons can't deny it any more, the climate is a changin and it's human made.

The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report says that continuing business-as-usual practices is likely to lead to more droughts, heatwaves, floods and stronger hurricanes, rapid melting of ice-sheets and rapidly rising sea levels.

And while the science has been obvious for a while, they say the window for action is narrowing fast and we must start bring emissions down rapidly by 2020 if we want to avoid climate catastophe.

And what's Blair been up to while our window shrinks? He's opening the door for a new generation of coal fired power plants that will still be pumping out greenhouse gases in 50 years time.

This morning Greenpeace volunteers put the responsibility at his environment depatment's doorstep for utterly failing to take action on climate change.
