British Labour Party
I would like to start by explaining The British Labour Party. The Labour Party is a centre-left political party in the United Kingdom, and one of the two main British political parties along with the Conservative Party. In 1997, Tony Blair led this political party and he tried to change the environmental policy. Blair criticized other governments for not doing enough to solve global climate change. In a 1997 visit to the United States, he made a comment on "great industrialized nations" that fail to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Again in 2003, Blair went before the United States Congress and said that climate change "cannot be ignored", insisting "we need to go beyond even Kyoto." It was not an easy task and they had to change their policy radically.
In order to make the necessary changes, they had to come up with certain strategies. One of the most effective ways to cut greenhouse gas emissions was to pay industry incentives to encourage them to cut greenhouse gases. The government was providing up to £215 million (equivalent to $300 million) over five years from 2003-4 to provide the incentive payments to companies to join the scheme. They also promised to cut 20% off British greenhouse gas emissions by 2010. This is significantly more than the 12.5 % required by the Kyoto treaty. However, there is too much confusing information about this topic. Greenhouse gas emissions changed depending on the resources. For instance, the Labour Party claimed that by 2010 10% of the energy would come from renewable resources. However the opposition rejected it and they claim that the total energy from renewable resources amounted to 3%.
I would also like to expand on the Labour party goals in the near future. Although this party is present in Great Britain, focus needs to be set on Ireland. In 2007, the Labour party of Ireland released a new schedule that consists in mainly reaching 1990-level greenhouse gas emissions by 2016 and reducing it up
