Tony Blair: "Get real on climate change"


- Look, the thing about climate change must be certain. The weather is crazy!
- I warned you.
- We'll have to get something very expensive to fix it.

This week is a potentially crucial week in the fight against climate change. On Tuesday, the UK hosts the first meeting under the new Gleneagles dialogue between the G8 and China, India, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa. I want to explain why this is important and why I believe the difficulties with the current climate change debate is the trouble with so much international politics: a reluctance to face up to reality and the practical action needed to tackle problems.
