Climate On Agenda At Upcoming G-8? No, Thanks To Key Cameron ("Greenest Gov. Ever") Advisor
RTCC understands that the UK Prime Minister's Adviser for Europe and Global Issues Ivan Rogers has rejected moves from Germany and France to make the issue one of the meeting's key talking points. Officials from the two countries are said to be disappointed their suggestions were rebuffed.
Instead, Rogers is insisting that trade, transparency and tax form the core of discussions scheduled to take place at Lough Erne, in Northern Ireland between June 17-18.
EDIT
"After months of political infighting within the coalition government, the UK, which was the first country to develop its own Climate Change Act in 2008, is now showing dangerous signs of withdrawing from this agenda.
Molho added: "David Cameron pledged to lead the greenest government ever, so it is astounding that his aides now appear to be actively blocking the inclusion of climate change on the agenda at a G8 summit that Mr Cameron is hosting."

... for the security forces not to have discovered the IRA mortar/bomb plot that has
been associated with the G8 meeting ...
Whilst there is always the chance that it was just another propaganda exercise
("Be Scared! Big Brother Will Protect You!"
, getting rid of the current collection
of corporate-owned talking heads would be a move in the right direction ... (and would
also be the first good thing that the IRA have ever done fwiw).
