ASIAN BROWN HAZE - COMMENT foe.co.uk 12 Aug 2002 Commenting on today's UN report on the Asian brown Haze, Kate Hampton, climate co-ordinator for Friends of the Earth International said: "Urgent action is desperately needed to tackle the causes behind this huge toxic cloud which is putting hundreds of thousands of people at risk in Southern Asia. This Asian Brown Haze illustrates the consequences of torching forests and burning fossil fuels in vehicles and power stations. Actions must include phasing out fossil fuels and replacing them with clean, green, renewable energy, and tough laws to protect the world's forests." "This phenomenon highlights the importance of this month's Earth Summit and the desperate need to ensure that economic development does not threaten people and their environment."
