Editorial

Environment seems to be playing a vital role in the campaigns of several mainstream political parties across Germany, Britain, France, Canada, the United States and Austria. Climate change, in particular, is being tackled by politicians and going by election results, the issue seems to be winning over voters.

Arnold Schwarzenegger won re-election as California governor in a landslide last month, after championing measures to cut the state's greenhouse gas emissions.

Prime Minister Tony Blair and Chancellor Gordon Brown have made the fight against climate change a priority, and Conservative Party leader David Cameron has won over voters by talking up environmental issues.

Manfred Guellner, managing director of Germany's Forsa polling institute, told Reuters, “Climate change clearly has 'hot button' potential”.
