Well… now that Mr Bush is “taking climate change seriously” we can all sit back and relax. Phew! And it was getting pretty close, there. And thank goodness he stressed that any plans to combat climate change should not be detrimental to the economy. I am filled with the sense of reassurance that the right man is at the helm. Tough luck, America. So, whilst Bush suggests that “each nation must decide for itself…” I guess we will have to rely for EU recommendations.
Then, just when I thought it was Bush that had a problem, along comes Mr Stuart Dimmock. He is rather upset that our school children are being sent copies of Al Gore’s remarkable film “An Inconvenient Truth” for educational purposes claiming that it is 30% politics and 20% mush.
I’m sorry? When I came away from that film, I had a good idea of where Al Gore stood politically, it’s true, but I had an even better idea about the facts of climate change. Al Gore’s political persuasions aside, the message was for everyone, whatever their politics, and the message was loud and clear. WE HAVE A PROBLEM! Perhaps Mr Dimmock is not aware of this.
