Blair: Taking no action ‘grossly irresponsible’

A GLOBAL deal in the Copenhagen climate talks will set a framework for the future and help change to happen faster, former prime minister Tony Blair said yesterday.

Blair said while it may not be fast enough for some, it would still “set the world on a new path to a low carbon future” and to take no action would be “grossly irresponsible”.

He confronted climate change sceptics, saying the world should act even if only as a precaution to the predicted consequences.
