Environment Minister Boot on emergency declaration
We are ahead of our neighbours.
That's the claim of Environment Minister Geoffrey Boot, after government declared a climate change emergency last Friday morning.
Mr Boot believes claims we are lagging behind other jurisdictions like Jersey, which declared an emergency at the beginning of May, are simply untrue.
He says the Isle of Man, with its UNESCO biosphere status, is ahead of the game in terms of steps already taken:
Man to stand trial after denying wounding with intent to murder
20-year-old is currently remanded at the Isle of Man Prison
'Meaningful change' needed to ensure long-term future of sidecars at TT
"No decision regarding the future participation of the Sidecar class will be taken until further work has been completed"
