"Tony Blair tonight sought to win US backing for measures to tackle global warming, insisting steps to address the issue did not have to lead to "drastic" cuts in living standards...

His speech appeared designed to win over the US administration, which has refused to sign up to the Kyoto Treaty...

However, Mr Blair's words are likely to alarm environmentalists, who will see them as a watering down of his commitment to use Britain's presidency of the G8 group of industrialised nations to tackle climate change."
