Kyoto 2

Oliver Tickell outlines Kyoto 2 today on BBC online. He puts the case well. Early last month he asked me for a soundbite view. I had not given one to date, having had a number of questions. But here it is now:

Kyoto2 is the boldest idea I have seen for a new international approach to meet the challenge of climate change. If properly implemented -- and the political and operational obstacles are likely to be formidable -- it could be a radical improvement on the current approach. This proposal is worth everyone's serious attention.
