Sir David King

According to the government's chief scientist, Sir David King, while the evidence continues to grow, what we really need to see is action to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

"Action is affordable, inaction is certainly not," said Sir David at the Greenpeace Business lecture on global warming in London.

As scientists around the world study the changes in our climate going back almost a million years, they confirm what many of us know, climate change is already here.

It's a great honour for me to be here speaking at the Greenpeace business lecture and it's also a wonderful opportunity for me to talk to you about the issue that, as Doug has just said, I consider to be the most serious issue facing us this century and beyond. What I'm going to do is run through the science behind climate change and then I'll run through what the British government is doing and what the international situation is and the sorts of things that we all ought to be doing on this issue. So just kicking off with the science.

Ken's vision for a low carbon London

Watch excerpts from Ken's speech.

It's the capital of the UK, the biggest energy demand centre in the country and the largest city in Europe. And it can slash its CO2 emissions, gas consumption and reliance on fossil fuels without nuclear power.

That was London Mayor Ken Livingstone's message when he laid out his vision for a low carbon London at a Greenpeace Business lecture in March 2006. The mayor called for the government to invest in decentralised energy (DE) instead of wasting taxpayers' money on nuclear power - "the failed technology of the past".
