[Greenpeace UK blogs] Evasion and newspeak: government action vs ecological reality ...: The government's abject failure to act may be down to vestedinterests dictating government policy. Or it may be that the governmentjust hopes, in a vague kind of way, that the massive transformation we need willbe delivered by free markets - even though the national grid, the strategic motorwaynetwork, the rail network and practically all major infrastructure hasneeded either government money or concerted policy and political support.

[The Office Of Tony Blair] Tony Blair on Breaking the Climate Deadlock - The Office Of Tony Blair: Our citizens can also be alarmed at the radical scale of action necessary to prevent it. The task of political leadership is therefore to achieve the right national and international action that puts the global economy on a path to low-carbon growth, but does so in a way that does not hinder the completely legitimate aspirations of people - especially those in the poorer parts of the world - to enjoy the material and social benefits of growth and consumption.

[The Office Of Tony Blair] Tony Blair speaks on Breaking The Climate Deadlock - The Office Of ...: Europe has very bold 2020 targets and it will take very bold action to achieve them.  The recent Warner-Lieberman Bill before the US Senate implied 5% cuts in emissions by 2020.  That would be a big step forward but, according to some scientists, it falls short of the cuts necessary for world emissions to peak in 2020. China has set a target of a 20% cut in energy intensity by 2010;

[Global Dashboard etc] Breaking the Climate Deadlock « Global Dashboard etc: Blair worries about “a yawning chasm between, on the one side, those in the scientific, NGO, and expert community who want very radical action immediately to cut greenhouse gas emissions; and on the other side, those in positions of political leadership who far they are being asked for something beyond their power to deliver without damage to economic growth.”

[The Spectator.co.uk Melanie Phillips Blog] The sacrifice of truth to power | The Spectator: So, the deaths of millions of unborn children is a "self-indulgent fixation?" This is the kind of unserious, petulant response that has propelled Obama to his current heights. Obama would not even support legislation in the Illinois statehouse to protect the lives of infants born alive during "botched" abortions (and the usual Obama-speak on this issue is transparently false - the existing law did not protect the infants due to questions of "viability" and the language in the law Obama voted against was identical to legislation Obama claimed he would have supported - even his campaign staff had to admit that, after Obama called others who pointed out the fact liars).

[CNN Political Ticker] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive ...: Wake up Democrats! Obama is not a Democrat, but a closet Republican: he wants more federal money in the hands of churches than Bush, doesn't oppose government illegal snooping on private citizens, doesn't oppose late term abortion in cases of emotional distress, favors the death penalty in non-capital cases, etc.

This is probably the Tories in 1991, with the exception that Brown will increase rather than decrease his majority because Kinnock actually had an alternative manifesto to stand on, all Cameron has is hot air.
