The above web page has links to two radio programmes which will be of
interest to people interested in global warming. They describe the
political situation fairly thoroughly but do not go deeply into the
science.

Cheers, Alastair.

.... what I found interesting about the second programme was that
although the US *Federal* administration is decidedly luke-warm about
the Kyoto treaty etc., individual states (or more accurately groups of
states) are not: lots of cross-border co-operation between the NE US
states and Canadian Atlantic provinces for example. I hadn't realised
this.

I had heard rumours, but I was not aware of the extent of the movement.
I think GWB's spin merchants were claiming that Kyoto was a plot put
about by the foreign devils, but when Canada signed up it made the US
man-in-the-street think.
