Consensus grows on climate change
By Roger Harrabin
Environment Correspondent, BBC News

"The global scientific body on climate change is expected to report soon that emissions from humankind is the only explanation for major changes on Earth.

"...But the broad international expert consensus embodied in the IPCC will make it harder for the US administration to say that climate change is a problem for the future which can be solved by technological advances.

In a meeting with climate campaigners, the UK Prime Minister Tony Blair said the world needed to engage the Americans, Chinese and Indians in agreement over a figure for CO2 stabilisation.

But this is unlikely to happen while President Bush is in office; his representative told the December climate conference in Montreal that the US would not agree any targets for reducing CO2."
