Beyond Kyoto (From Foreign Affairs, July/August 2004)
"Global warming is real and needs to be addressed now. Rather than bash or mourn the defunct Kyoto Protocol, we should start taking the small steps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions today that can make a big difference down the road. The private sector already understands this, and its efforts will be crucial in improving fossil fuel efficiency and developing alternative sources of energy. To harness business potential, however, governments in the developed world must create incentives, improve scientific research, and forge international partnerships." Lord Browne of Madingley is Group Chief Executive of BP plc.

Climate Disaster Looming
"The consequences of climate change are a very real and dangerous threat, yet international leaders seem to pay little heed to the warning bells. We need decisive action to cut greenhouse gas emissions, but our Prime Minister has allowed carbon dioxide pollution to increase since he came to power. He must urgently put in place policies that will see year on year reductions in emissions, from transport, from industry and from household energy use. But he must also convince his fellow world leaders that climate change is as big a threat to people and the planet as international terrorism".
