The G8 summit must deliver on climate change as well as on poverty
Robin Cook
Friday June 10, 2005
The Guardian
Climate change is in danger of becoming the poor relation at the G8
summit. It has no pop icons throwing gala concerts or summoning up a
fleet of small boats to transport protesters across the Channel.
By contrast, Make Poverty History is proving the most popular mass
movement of the year. My native city of Edinburgh has been placed in a
state of fear and alarm by Bob Geldof's summons to a million people to
march on it. Margo MacDonald MSP cut to the heart of the global poverty
debate by demanding to know where they are all going to find a toilet,
which spectacularly missed the point of a demonstration in support of
decent drainage for the people of Africa who have none all year round.
