Kennedy: Blair lowers expectations of success on climate change at G8

After Prime Minister’s Questions Charles Kennedy, Leader of the Liberal Democrats said that the Prime Minister had conceded that he had not reached agreement with President Bush about dealing with issues of climate change. In response to Mr Kennedy’s questions the Prime Minister said ‘I don’t think we’re quite at the ‘salvage’ stage of the operation yet, I’m not saying we won’t get there but we’re not at it yet.’

‘When we decided to make Africa and climate change the two key issues of the G8 summit we were setting the bar pretty high for ourselves… The brutal truth is without America in a process of dialogue and action in the International community we aren’t going to make progress on it. So let us wait and see what we get to, where we get to at the G8 summit.’
