UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair is in the last chance saloon on climate, according to environmental campaigners. The Stop Climate Chaos coalition has pledged to turn up the heat on the Prime Minister with the launch of its “I Count” campaign highlighting that, as Mr Blair’s premiership melts away, climate change is the most important single issue on which he can leave a lasting legacy.
The launch will be marked with an unveiling of a 4ft high ice sculpture of Mr Blair’s head in Trafalgar Square on 4 November, on the eve of climate talks in Nairobi. For more information and how you can get involved, click here.
