Leading UK Tory On Climate - "The Sooner The Current Admin. Goes, The Safer The World Wil Be"

[hatrack]

Well, yeah, we already knew that, but always good to hear even so.

Mr Ainsworth's outspoken attack goes far beyond any previous criticisms of Mr Bush made by senior party figures and reflects how widespread frustration with the administration's failure to tackle global warming has become.
"Without a world solution to climate change, there won't be any solution at all. We have been having discussions with both Senator McCain and others in terms of building an international agenda on this," he said.

"The sooner the current administration in America goes, the safer the world will be.

"It has been a deplorable drag on international efforts to get a resolution; the leading polluter of the world hasn't been playing a full part.

"I'm confident a future American administration will shoulder its responsibilities," he added. Mr Ainsworth was speaking alongside the environment secretary, David Miliband, and the Liberal Democrat environment spokesman, Chris Huhne, at this week's launch of the Green Standard, a campaign organised by nine of the UK's leading environmental groups.
