“Remember Neville Chamberlain. And don't forget Kyoto - the G8 summit's
inability to agree targets to cut emissions, represents a failure of
leadership.”

“Of course, action by the G8 countries alone won't avert climate change.
But it's almost certainly a prerequisite for getting other countries to
join in the solution.

Engaging China, with its rapidly expanding economy and determination to
use its coal, is essential.

The best way to do this would have been for the G8 to have accepted that
contraction and convergence.”
