Tony Blair was this morning under fire from Spanish environmentalists angry at the threat posed to their shores by oil spills from tankers like The Prestige. Single hull tankers carrying heavy fuel oil continue to sail into port at Gibraltar - despite a ban enacted by the Madrid Government that prevents them passing through Spanish waters after last year's disaster. 

The lack of public consultation surrounding UK Government participation in the Bush Administration's 'Son of Star Wars' missile defence system is yet more evidence that Blair is nothing more than Bush's puppet, Greenpeace claims today.

Greenpeace has asked Tony Blair today (27/08/02) to not bother making a speech at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) unless his address shows world leadership and commits the UK to real action. The summit starts this week in Johannesburg, South Africa. Greenpeace has identified two obvious examples where earlier Blair rhetoric has been discredited by official sloth and offered a checklist of four concrete achievements that the Prime Minister could instead deliver within the next two weeks.

Tony Blair is under fire from environmentalists after new research exposed a staggering hypocrisy at the heart of Labour's global warming policy.

Blair had claimed to be in the vanguard of efforts to tackle climate change - but the new research reveals that his administration has funded the construction of coal plants in the developing world that cancel out half the emissions reductions the Prime Minister has boasted the UK will make under the Kyoto Protocol.
