Tony Blair is being forced to defend himself- for flying.
"In an exclusive interview with Sky's Julie Etchingham, he argued the fight against global warming did not require unreasonable sacrifices.
The Prime Minister was interviewed as part of Sky News' Green Britain week- a look at climate change in the UK.
Mr Blair rejected the need to set a personal example on greenhouse gases by taking breaks closer to home, insisting science was the key to tackling the problem.
"I think that what we need to do is to look at how you make air travel more energy efficient, how you develop the new fuels that will allow us to burn less energy and emit less," he said.
Mr Blair cautioned against setting people "unrealistic targets", adding: "It's like telling people you shouldn't drive anywhere."
