Global Warming

So the Great Global Warming lie begins to unravel. On one level I feel vindicated on being a climate change sceptic, but on another there are plenty of other good reasons why all countries should avoid pollution, protect the environment and use energy as efficiently as possible. The AGW debate may be about to enter another chapter before it is proved or disproved (I don’t know the answer and am ready to be convinced) but curtailing waste should remain a compelling ambition. My main hope is that discussions around such policies can begin to take place in a measured and level headed atmosphere with the costs and benefits being properly assessed rather than in the rabid “do it now or we’re all going to die and if you don’t believe me you’re a silly” environment it does at present.
