UK MP Stephen Byers, co-chair of the task force with US Republican Senator
Olympia Snowe, said: ‘I appreciate that tackling climate change is politically
difficult. First, there is a mismatch between the potentially unpopular
decisions that need to be taken now and the benefits that will come in
the medium and long term. Secondly, no country acting on its own can resolve
the issue. Strong international action is vital. The task force, with
its diverse membership, has been able to find common ground. Our recommendations
are practical, realistic but also challenging.’
