David Cameron writes in today’s News of the World. Again, no message on climate change.
I’d love to see the translation of this story mentioning Mr Cameron in French Newspaper, Le Figaro.

Tom it might be news to you but the the vast majority of people don’t care about climate change. Check the polls!
Is this really the best you can do?
Google Translate does a reasonable job on the Figaro piece.
Chameleon – soft on the PR of climate change, non existent on commitment to measures to combat it.
If you really want it translated I can do it and email it to you.
You can get the general gist from Google Translate below:
According to someone called Pierre Lelouche, The EU will endeavour to strongarm Vaclav Klaus into ratifying Nice before Cameron gets a chance to hold a Referendum in GB.
“A pact destructive
This puzzle is constitutional for next to nothing destructive pact forged by the Czech President and the Prime Minister in power. The frame is known, confirmed by a letter to Vaclav Klaus by David Cameron: the first is to retain his signature until May or June, the second time, received at 10 Downing Street, launching the referendum promised to break ratification of the treaty by London (2008). “If you can hold, you will find me soon at your side,” wrote the Tory leader, quoted by the Daily Mail.
The state of British opinion leaves little doubt about the outcome of such consultation. It remains to confirm that a Prime Minister Cameron would have the audacity to blow up twenty years of European ambitions. The scenario is far from being eccentric. It gives a cold sweat in Brussels. “In addition to Cameron, Maggie Thatcher was a nice Euro-federalist,” quipped a senior French.
Vaclav Klaus gave credibility to the plot by creating in the Senate yet another appeal against the Lisbon Treaty. According to Tomas Langasek responsible to the Supreme Court, the final decision will take “some weeks or months.” The prospect of a new deadline had already cast a cold at the last EU summit.
After the Irish vote, the strategy of Twenty-Seven – Czechs and the British included – would be to mount pressure on the tenant to Prague Castle. “If Vaclav Klaus fun to block everything, there will be consequences, warns Pierre Lellouche, Secretary of State for European Affairs. One man alone can not block the will of 500 million Europeans. ”
To break the vicious circle of Czech-British, one of the hypotheses is to deprive her of Prague Commissioner. Former Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek has shaken the case this week, following a meeting with Jose Manuel Barroso. This penalty requires unanimity of Twenty-Seven, including Czechs. Alternatively, Parliament could also refuse the green light to the candidate presented by Prague. “
Mind you, it’s not much of an issue anyway, is it.
