Question Earthority!

“London’s Labour Mayor Ken Livingstone put climate at the core of his re-election campaign on Tuesday, trying for the first time in Britain to make the environment a key electoral issue. With Livingstone and his main opponent Conservative mayoral candidate Boris Johnson being actively backed by the leaders of their national parties, the campaign could have implications for the next general election due by mid-2010. … Little in Livingstone’s environmental manifesto is new after two consecutive terms in office, making it all the more difficult for his opponents to match or beat. He has already said he aims to cut the city’s climate changing carbon dioxide emissions by 60 percent by 2025, a far more ambitious target than the government’s plan to achieve the same national reduction by 2050.” (03/25/08)
