Letter: Climate solution

Published 11 July 2012

From Roger Taylor

Further to Fred Pearce’s editorial on the outcome of the Rio+20 Earth Summit (30 June, p 3), the disarray in international politics that he highlighted with regard to climate change is now so potentially dangerous that no one can affect to be a disinterested observer.

We are, quite literally, all in this together. Anyone who imagines that solutions to climate change will come from governments is blinded by wishful thinking. Solutions will – and can only – come from the people now.
