Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
MAKUHARI, Japan, March 15 (UPI) -- Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair urged a "global environment revolution" while discussing climate change in Japan, a report said.
During a gathering of G8 ministers, Blair discussed why the world is in need of a "global deal," the BBC reported Saturday.
He said the deal should be headed by the United Nations and that not taking action on climate change "would be deeply and unforgivably irresponsible."
While visiting Japan, Blair is trying to guide efforts to ensure a deal with China and the United States to cut emissions in half by 2050. The former prime minister reportedly is scheduled to meet with climate experts from Japan, China, Europe and the United States.
"The U.N. machinery is valiantly striving to put this deal together. The U.N. and the U.N. alone is the right forum to reach the global agreement," he said.
