Christian Aid urged the Prime Minister last night to cut down UK's emissions of greenhouse gases before leading the global fight against climate change.
Prime Minister Tony Blair discussed last night the progress since last summer's Gleneagles summit, emphasising the need for a consensus between the United States, Europe, China and India on tackling global warming.
In a report published last month, Christian Aid claimed global warming poses one of the biggest threats to the global fight against poverty and warns 182 million people could die in Africa as a result, due to climate-induced floods, famine, drought and conflict.
Although the charity welcomed Mr Blair's attempts to put climate change and development on the political agenda, they said he risked appearing a "hypocrite" unless Britain cut back its own greenhouse gas emissions.
