Britons shouldn’t be asked to do too much to slash carbon emissions, former Prime Minister Tony Blair has said.

Mr. Blair, one of the leading advocates on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide, said nothing the UK does would affect climate change because the UK’s emissions are only a fraction of those released in China.
