The truth is out. According to a confidential Pentagon document, the US government's masterplan for total global domination now includes using its nuclear weapons pre-emptively - even in conventional war situations.

A draft of "Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations" shows that instead of reducing the role of nuclear weapons as originally promised, the Bush administration is pushing aggressive new policies that are set to become normal US military practice.

Responding to the G8 communiqué on climate change Greenpeace executive director Stephen Tindale said:

"The scientific community has given an unequivocal signal that urgent and radical action is needed to cut emissions and stabilise the climate. The G8 communique has failed to acknowledge this warning. This has left the G8 leaders treading water on this crucial issue.

7 July 2005 - Greenpeace today branded the G8 agreement on climate change 'a major missed opportunity to tackle dangerous climate change'.

Despite spin from the British government it is clear that there has been no change in the US position and it remains alone in resisting the urgent need for action.

As the G8 summit gets underway in Scotland, environment and development groups are urging Prime Minister Tony Blair and other world leaders to stand up to President Bush and agree a clear way forward for climate protection.

The US is the only G8 country not to have ratified the Kyoto Protocol and the Bush administration has already tried to weaken early drafts of the G8 communiqué, objecting to language that includes statements that the world is warming, human activity is mostly to blame and developed economies must lead the fight against the problem.

When it comes to oil, how special does a special relationship become? Tony Blair is often called George Bush's poodle, but is there more than meets the eye?

Responding to reports that Tony Blair is attempting to broker a climate deal with George Bush - dubbed Kyoto-lite - Greenpeace Executive Director Stephen Tindale said:

"Getting Bush to even accept man-made climate change is happening would be real progress, but Tony Blair can't expect plaudits for giving the US administration a gentle private prodding while tens of thousands die and emissions rise under his own government.
