Option 1: Go vegetarian n Option 2: Reduce the number of MPs... hmmnn

It strikes me that the Government could do better with its money than spend it on so much hogwash and, well, horse excrement.

I’m tired of being fed a diet of platitudes smothered in a sickly sauce of righteousness.

Rather than produce such documents, it should be taking our creaking, increasingly expensive and worrying energy production problems by the horns and taking some serious decisions on renewables and not just nuclear.

Halving the number of MPs at Westminster, Wales and Scotland would make a massive reduction in our hot air emissions.

Finnish environmental group disappointed by UN leader’s views on climate

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon got a critical review from Leo Stranius, climate policy spokesperson for the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation on Wednesday.
At a meeting between Ban and Finnish non-governmental organisations, Ban was said to have given vague answers to Stranius’s questions on actions to slow climate change.
“I can’t be very enthusiastic. I am surprised that he spoke so much about the findings of climate scientists on global warming. Everyone knows that. Now we need new action”, Stranius said.

Ban’s message was, more or less, that the governments of the world need to believe what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has reported on warming.

In China, Pelosi promotes the greatest scientific fraud of all time

Turning around her usual criticisms about human rights, Pelosi linked global warming to environmental justice, saying the right to a clean environment is also a human right.

"I do see this opportunity for climate change to be ... a game-changer," she said at Tsinghua. "It's a place where human rights — looking out for the needs of the poor in terms of climate change and healthy environment — are a human right."

To achieve this, Pelosi said governments would have to make decisions and choices based on science.

"They also have to do it with openness, transparency and accountability to the people," she said. "Everyone has to have their situation improved by it."

In answering a question from a student about how Pelosi was going to get Americans to cut back on their carbon emissions, the leading Democratic lawmaker said it was important to educate children on how to conserve energy and for citizens to build more environmentally friendly homes.

"We have so much room for improvement," she said. "Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory ... of how we are taking responsibility."
