According to the BBC’s “Dispatches” (5/3/07) The Labour Government have failed to meet every environment target they have set to date and will only achieve 30% of the their self-set target by 2020. This will leave an almost impossible legacy for any Government trying to achieve the 2050 targets. These targets, of course, conveniently forget the contribution made by air travel to global warming and the Government’s policy to increase air traffic. As “Dispatches” concluded, if Blair is judged on his environmental credentials them he will have been deemed a failure. Their program strictly concerned itself with 'Greenwash' i.e. the misleading and 'whitewashing' actions of Government and corporations on the subject of Green Credentials.
I wonder how they would have judged Blair on Transport, Security, Foreign Policy, Education and how many other ways his term in office could be deemed a failure…?
