Blair now has to live up to the rhetoric

The World Wildlife Fund UK (WWF UK) has strongly criticized Blair for his recent comments that suggest he is trying to undermine the idea of binding targets such as those that UK has signed up to under the Kyoto Protocol. This comes just days after the President of the Royal Society made similar appeals to Blair and the British government to stop talking and start acting. The BBC reported that according to the WWF UK, there is little difference between Bush and Blair apart from rhetoric. This kind of comment must sting Blair given that climate change has been one of his self-proclaimed strengths whereas Dubya is widely regarded as the least environmentally-friendly President in the history of the universe. Blair has got to start coming good on his promises.
