Climate Activists Unveil 3-Foot Ice Sculpture Of Tony Blair's Head

Environmental campaigners today said they would turn up the heat on Tony Blair to take action on climate change as they unveiled a metre-high ice sculpture of his head. The ice sculpture of the prime minister's head had inside it a copy of a new book, produced by the Stop Climate Chaos coalition to encourage personal and political action against global warming.

The coalition said that, as Mr Blair's premiership melts away, climate change was the most important single issue on which he could leave a lasting legacy.

EDIT

Stop Climate Chaos, which describes itself as an "unprecedented and growing coalition", brings together more than 35 environmental and development organisations, unions, faith communities and women's groups. Members include Friends of the Earth, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Greenpeace, the World Wildlife Fund, Oxfam, Tearfund, Christian Aid, the Women's Institute and Unison.

The I Count campaign is calling for the UK government to push for international action on greenhouse emissions in order that they are irreversibly declining by 2015. It is also pressing for help for developing countries to adapt to climate change and give them access to clean energy. At home, it wants to see a "carbon budget" in the Queen's speech that outlines plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 3% a year.
