Margaret Beckett - Europe must be bold
They say a day can be a long time in politics. A year is time enough for everything to change. Last winter I was still having to convince some people – politicians, businessmen, members of the public – of the threat posed by climate change. Twelve months on that scepticism has evaporated: no serious scientist or commentator is in any doubt as to the scale and the immediacy of that threat. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has laid out the stark facts and the unequivocal evidence. Politicians across the world – not least in Europe – are expected to respond.
