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:
Ard-Shirveishagh hopes he's given members enough time to consider 'Charter for Change'
Document only published a week before Tynwald
Live video streaming 'significant step' in making parliament more accessible
Public can now watch proceedings online
Treasury: 'Challenging to justify support for heating oil customers'
MHK says Island is 'dangerously close to a Dickens' novel'
Increase of more than 500 patients for mental health services over last 12 months
Waiting list has also climbed from 1,160 to 1,433
