More hot air

It seems carbon cuts have also fallen prey to party politics in the UK with this report from the BBC that Blair wants to make further (and more toothless) emissions cuts. Labour is chasing David Cameron in a greener-than-thou contest, though I suspect this is all just electioneering on both of their parts, especially after Labour suffered defeats in several by-elections.

It seems to me that re-forestation programmes could be just as beneficial in tackling climate change, and certainly more cheaper and palatable to industry. Why is this not being looked at?
