From Mr Richard Lambert and others.
Sir, Reaching a global agreement on the replacement for Kyoto is critical to helping address climate change. We strongly urge Gordon Brown to continue to press for a robust and effective European Union climate change package ahead of the European Council meeting this week.
The economic downturn is no excuse. Without early action we will actually be worsening the long-term outlook for Europes economy. British business will play its part. We are pro-environment and pro-growth and reject the idea that the two are in conflict.
We want to see governments act to establish binding emissions reduction commitments for developed countries and deadlines for the main emerging emitters, such as China and India, to adopt binding commitments. A global price for carbon needs to be agreed, through measures such as emissions trading, and all major emitters should contribute to global emissions reductions. We need governments to support greater investment in low-carbon technologies and to encourage a greater focus on energy efficiency across all sectors.
Now is not the time for retreat, but to seize the opportunities that political change in the US and elsewhere offers.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
