Greens condemn neglect of Kyoto

THE Government is being accused of gross environmental neglect in the run-up to next week's Earth Summit in South Africa.

Environmentalists protested yesterday in Dublin at the Government's record over the past 10 years. A 118-page report, Telling It Like It Is, published yesterday contains dozens of examples of alleged unsustainable developments.

The report - launched by Independent senator David Norris - is to be distributed among the 60,000 delegates to the Johannesburg summit, which Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and Environment Minister Martin Cullen will address.
