Fears that the G8 summit in Gleneagles this July will lack the political will to tackle global warming have increased, following the publication of a document purporting to be a draft G8 communiqué on climate change. Friends of the Earth International said that the leaked document was "far too weak, ineffective and lacks urgency". British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, has promised to put climate change at the top of the international agenda at this year's G8 summit, which will be chaired by the UK.
