Persuading U.S. on Climate Is Top Challenge - Blair

Sat Feb 12,12:43 PM ET Science - Reuters


By Katherine Baldwin

GATESHEAD, England (Reuters) - Persuading Washington to support global efforts to tackle climate change is Britain's main challenge over the coming months, Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) said on Saturday.



Global warming (news - web sites) is one of Blair's priorities for London's chairmanship of the Group of Eight rich nations this year.

"The reality is that unless America comes back in to some form of international consensus, it's very hard to make progress," Blair said when asked if he could get the United States on board over measures to slow global warming.

"I hope, and this is the diplomatic challenge for the next few months, I hope we can reestablish that dialogue," he told a conference of his Labour Party in Gateshead, northern England.

Blair said last week he believed President Bush (news - web sites) wants to start discussing measures to combat climate change and suggested there may be an agreement during Britain's G8 presidency, to be showcased at a summit in July.
