Article Abstract:
The importance that the UK's new Labour government's places on environmental reform is reinforced by the unrivaled high-powered delegation it is sending to a United Nations meeting in New York, celebrating the fifth anniversary of the Earth Summit. Prime minister Tony Blair plans to call on other nations to follow Britain's lead in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, thought to be the cause of global warming. However, Blair's ability to devise sound economic policies are heavily reliant on reliable science.
