While British Prime Minister Tony Blair was in Australia earlier this week he apparently talked with our PM about Britain joining the recently formed Asia- Pacific Partnership on Clean Development, know as the AP6 because there are currently six participating countries.
According to the The Australian Tony Blair was interesting in forging a post-Kyoto accord to cut carbon emissions that had a “real dose of realism” and John Howard suggested a possible climate strategy involving the world’s 20 biggest carbon emitters, including China, India, Australia, the US and Britain.
Sounds like progress to me?
