climate change is a strange one, there are those for or against climate change proposals, but i do wonder if we are right in sitting back and doing little
will future generations thank us?

future generations will not thank us for bankrupting the country and leaving them to foot the bill.

We need electric powered public transport, including buses, at least for the towns and cities.
We need a reasearch centre for research into more efficient electric powered engines.
We also need a more efficient version of wind turbines, the present ones are too expensive and produce too little. Research is needed.

That's the thing about those who believe in the cult of carbon dioxide Howard - they talk lots about saving the planet but invariably use the most energy and waste the most resources. They're all hypocrites really. Environmentalism has replaced socialism as a belief. It's all rather brilliant really. The only problem is that many people have to die in order to bring their ideas to fruition.

the main problems are - in my opinion, firstly dodgy statistics as brian highlights.
secondly it is dragging us down a path in the same way that private finance initiatives did, building up debt for the future.
dave at conference spoke enthusiastically of us being at the forefront of green technology, quite laughable as we import all the wind turbines and associated paraphernalia.

There is a huge discrepancy in policies on this subject. It is a fact that growing trees clean an enormous amount of the carbon from the air and yet our successive governments, both Labour and Conservative, have preferred to introduce expensive legislation aimed at business while cutting back, and even attempting to sell off, our green spaces.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.
