Well think again: Budapest is home to an unlikely climate leader.<\/p>\n<p>A lawyer-turned-politician, Janos Ader was elected President of the Republic in 2012, and his 1980s popstar moustache belies his progressive stance on tackling global warming.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Ader <a href=\"http:\/\/www.keh.hu\/sajtokozlemenyek\/2111-Ader_Janos_koztarsasagi_elnok_levelet_kuldott_a_vilag_tiz_legjelentosebb_szendioxid_kibocsato_orszaga_vezetojenek&amp;pnr=1\" target=\"_blank\">wrote a letter<\/a> to the heads of state from the world\u2019s top 10 greenhouse gas polluters.\u00a0The message was simple: set an example and tighten\u00a0your reduction targets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe suggested to the 10 top emitters they should speed up the implementation of the Paris Agreement and it might make sense for those states to go ahead and start ratcheting up,\u201d said Csaba K\u0151r\u00f6si, head of the president\u2019s environmental sustainability directorate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they move, it would be a good example for the rest of the word to follow \u2013 for sure.

China, the US, Japan and Canada were among the recipients.<\/p>\n<p>Former US president and climate hawk Al Gore was consulted before the letters were sent; so too was the recently departed UK prime minister David Cameron.<\/p>\n<p>In April,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2016\/04\/22\/live-in-new-york-world-leaders-sign-climate-pact\/\" target=\"_blank\">175 governments signed the new Paris Climate Agreement<\/a>, a record for a new international treaty.<\/p>\n<p>But given a spate of broken temperature records and extreme weather events across the planet, Ader felt he should take the initiative, said K\u0151r\u00f6si.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has very attentive ears to science. Some politicians do pay attention\u2026. some others a little lower.
