Hoodwinked in the Hothouse, coverJust in time for the G8 summit, Carbon Trade Watch, one of the leading groups researching and exposing the false solutions coming out of the Kyoto Protocol, have launched a new briefing, "Hoodwinked in the Hothouse: The G8, Climate Change and Free-Market Environmentalism"

The briefing, available to download from carbontradewatch.org examines the relationship between free-market economic forces and climate change policy while scrutinising the rhetoric and reality behind promises on climate made by the most powerful politicians in the world - the G8. It also explores the origins of free-market environmentalism and analyses the conflicts and synergies that arise when the worlds of trade and environment collide.
