UK criticizes US policy
The Climate Change advisor to the UK Foreign Secretary, Mrs Margaret Beckett, has criticized the US Government’s climate change policy on his second day on the job. This is only news because the UK Government so rarely criticizes US policy on any issue in public.
“The policy of the Bush administration on climate change has not been helpful on the international effort,” he [John Ashton] said. “We would have been further forward on climate change had there been a more engaged US position,” he added.
