I have resisted the temptation to join this discussion because I simply do not believe that it is mankind and his life style that is totally responsible for climate change (are we talking good or bad CC?) and I know my attitude inflames a lot of people. But a couple of points:
I have some good friends who are desperately trying to convince me that mankind is stuffing the world. Yes, one of them drives a hybrid car - but the same is happy to leave lights on day and night and same same for the airconditioning. They burn wood fires when an extra jumper would do. The clothes dryer is used when God's own is blazing down outside. Computors, yes plural, run day and night even when the operator is overseas for three months! Should they read this I apologise for using them as an example of a large majority of the activists who are big on rhetoric but short on actual action,
The West loves the lifestyle and the emerging nations want and will have it!, and,
in my part of the world the Greenies will have no part of nuclear power.
