Tony Blair has said that he will push for a successor to the Kyoto Protocol when it expires at the end of 2012.

Meanwhile, Downing Street has revealed the carbon dioxide emissions from the prime minister’s aeroplane will be offset by making an investment in energy-saving technology in the developing world.
