	28/3/2006 -- Global warming: Your chance to change the climate
		In The Independent today, their leader, Colin Challen, the chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Climate Change Group, sets out the case for abandoning the "business as usual" pursuit of economic growth, which has been the basis of Western economic policy for two hundred years.

		Despite these potential problems, Challen says DTQ implementation is "not a matter of if, but when." Anderson predicted a program could be set up within four to 10 years.

	'Climate Change Should Be Taken out of Politics to Allow Radical Remedies'
		An authoritative independent body, similar to the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, should be set up to agree UK climate change targets and measures to meet them, and to report "at least annually" on progress, the inquiry concludes.
		Initiated by the group's chairman, the Labour MP Colin Challen, the inquiry looked at the question of whether a cross-party consensus on climate was desirable, and possible.
		Mr Challen said yesterday: "We initiated this inquiry to look beyond the tendency of politics to dwell in the terrain of competition for short-term advantage.'' The three assessors who wrote the report are Dr Helen Clayton of the Natural Environment Research Council; Mark Whitby, a consulting engineer, and Professor Nick Pidgeon of Cardiff University.

		In Britain, where the issue is taken far more seriously, government officials are openly discussing "carbon rationing," in which everyone -- companies and individuals -- would be assigned a declining number of carbon credits that could be traded for such things as vehicle fill-ups at the gas station and airplane flights.
		In an article in The Independent, Challen delivered a harsh verdict on contemporary political and economic thinking: "Climate change means that business as usual is dead.
		And Challen concluded: "Since none of the mechanisms we currently have in place are solving the problem faster than it is being created, we must look to forging a new consensus which can think the unthinkable -- and take the electorate along with it."
