So, no surprises last week as George Bush's climate change summit ended up being pretty much what everyone expected it would - a futile and elitist talking shop which was a vain attempt for the outgoing president (15 months and counting) to say that he 'did something' about climate change.

World at last taking threat seriously, despite Bush
"How often does one walk into one of these things and come out at the end of it at six in the morning with just about everything you asked for coming in? Not very often." That was Greenpeace climate campaigner Steve Sawyer's reaction at the end of the Climate summit in Montreal.

Leading Non-Government Organisations - including Christian Aid, Friends of the Earth, the Women's Institute and Worldwide Fund for Nature - have written to Tony Blair urging him not to undermine the Kyoto Protocol or retreat from a target-based approach to cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate change is happening, and it is affecting livelihoods that depend on the natural environment. In Africa, this means nearly everyone.
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is unequivocal: climate change will have the biggest impact on the communities least able to respond to it.

Industry bigwigs face huge protest at defiant party planned for day Kyoto became law. The international oil industry's most prestigious annual gathering was disrupted tonight after Greenpeace volunteers blockaded a £50-a-plate dinner at London's Grosvenor House Hotel.
The defiant function had been scheduled to take place on the day the Kyoto Protocol came into force and was set to host middle-eastern energy ministers and the heads of some of the world's most powerful companies.

Today is a day for action. After a long and arduous process the Kyoto Protocol comes into force and business as usual is not an option.
Thirty-five Greenpeace volunteers halted trading on the global oil market by occupying the International Petroleum Exchange in London. They entered the high security building near Tower Bridge shortly before 2pm, just as the world market in Brent crude was about to switch to London.

On the day the world finally enacted Kyoto, the oil industry tried to hold a huge party to say, 'we don't care, it's business as usual'. We hope for at least one evening they've been forced to face the reality of what they're doing.

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.
