G8 cold shoulder on global warming (http://www.theherald.co.uk/politics/41417-print.shtml)
A briefing on climate change for next month's G8 summit questions whether global warming exists and has scaled down recommendations to tackle the problem.
The text has removed plans to fund research and put into question top scientists' warnings that warming is under way.
Gleneagles Plan of Action, dated June 14, has been watered down from a previous draft which itself had no specific targets or timetables for action.
The new draft also explicitly endorses using "zero-carbon" nuclear power – another development that will dismay environmentalists three weeks before the summit of the world's eight richest nations at Gleneagles, Perthshire.
A passage blaming coal power stations for generating the highest greenhouse gas emissions of all power generation options is removed. Instead, it calls for a diversification of supply mix with increased use of renewables.

It's about time that we are seeing some common sense about the global warming fraud.
