Greenpeace media briefing

JET/Conoco, an American company, is one of the ten largest oil companies in the world. The marketing and retailing (downstream) end of the business uses the name JET, while the exploration and production (upstream) end uses the name Conoco. JET/Conoco bosses have consistently denied the link between the oil they produce and global warming. Worse still, JET/Conoco is one of the major funders of US president George Bush, who has recently reneged on a pre-election pledge to tackle greenhouse gas emissions.

Greenpeace UK today called on Tony Blair to invoke Britain's 'special relationship' with the US to help reverse President George Bush's abrupt decision to back off from promises to cut carbon dioxide emissions from US power stations.

Greenpeace climate campaigner Stephanie Tunmore said,
"This is a real challenge for Prime Minister Tony Blair who last week declared a personal interest in protecting the climate. As he said then, Britain's role in the EU and its links with America make it a key country in reaching agreement to reduce greenhouse gases."
