Sure maybe this like many other sources sensationalizes things but one of the problems with climate is that I just can't see worldwide action until either it is right in governments faces ie. to late, or they are drawn in my sensationalist tones on correct science.
Climate is one of those things that governments will be able to wash there hands of if everything turns bad, because no one can be 100% sure of causes and the whole climate gate thing the article was referring to.
I don't really expect any drastic action as unless every country acts those who don't will have a big trading advantage, at least in the short term.
- ErrantX 16y agoAh... a pet topic of mine. This starts at home; and always will do if we want to make a difference. Reduce your energy usage, buy local produce, install solar (and other sustainable) power. All of these changes can be done for very little additional cost. And if you really care it is the approach to take. With enough of us doing these things it increases pressure and awareness a lot more than blogging about it etc. While the final fix rests with the governments, we have to do our bit. Just, we're going to have to do it first. At the moment "Green" is big business; but it is not so much actual green, as "brand Green". With enough consumers going after more eco-efficient lifestyles it increases the real green market and therefore pressure at a national level. If everyone in the country went and installed solar panels tomorrow....
