Commenting on Hilary Benn's appointment as Environment Secretary, Robin Oakley of Greenpeace said:

"Mr Benn's job is now one of the most important in government. We'll judge him not on his reputation but on what he does in the coming months and years to fight climate change, the greatest issue of our times. He and Gordon Brown have a big test coming up, when they'll be asked to decide on whether Britain builds new coal-fired power stations. On that issue alone we'll soon know if he’s the real deal."

New Labour and carbon calculators

Posted by bex — 20 June 2007 at 12:53pm - Comments

While we think it's lovely that Defra has launched a carbon calculator, we can't help but notice that a few other organisations have already developed similar tools (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here, say).

I'm not knocking carbon calculators (they're useful tools and lots of us here in the office use them), and obviously personal action to help combat climate change is invaluable. But really, is this what David Miliband should be spending his time and our money on?

Tony Blair's resignation - Greenpeace response

Responding to the news of Tony Blair’s resignation as leader of the Labour party, Greenpeace's climate change manager Charlie Kronick said:

"Tony Blair's performance on a national level has made a mockery of his claims to global leadership on the issue of climate change. Emissions of carbon dioxide are higher now than in 1997, and the government has not shown anywhere near the sustained commitment to renewable energy and energy efficiency that this country needs.
