Insulation underneath the roof in an attic is hardly going to change the appearance of a home, Philip.
Ray, the claim about vested interests could easily be turned, and perhaps these vested interests are in the form of petro-dollars.
The State relies enormously on petrol tax, and this probably prevents the Government from introducing necessary reforms to reduce and not increase road traffic.
Global warming is actually a catch-phrase, it should be called chemical pollution, that doesn't necessarily imply warming but the injection of chemical particles into the air.
The deniers of atmospheric change pounce on the word "global warming" to prove that the Earth has natural phases of warming and cooling in the atmosphere that are not determined by Man.
Hence, they pretend that the CONSTANT emission of - God knows how many tonnes and millions of tonnes - of chemical emissions into the air does not effect cloud formation, the ozone layer (see ultra-violet sun rays) the melting of the ice in the Arctic region, the formation of tornados and extreme hurricanes.
However, these chemical particles do not necessarily influence the atmosphere be way of heat, but rather through chemical processes.
All this is carefully hidden away in the phrase "global warming", which makes me wonder if this term has not been introduced by way of vested sabotage so as to then conveniently link up with the sentence "the Earth always has natural phases of global warming and cooling".
After all, £250,000 a year can lobby a long way, and u-turns in the Cabinet's policies on established carbon emission laws might easily be explained away with a visit to a hotel in Zurich, to the great disgust of the Swiss.
Now that's a tit for tat retort, Ray
