Owen, the Daily Telegraph, my favourite daily read when I was in UK.
Personally, “Climate Change and Global Warming” is a product of the greens obsession with controlling what the rest of us are allowed to do. Probably a result of the entryism by the extremist left into the environmental movement, following the collapse of the socialist governments in previous decades.
The issues are not about global warming and if they were the sunspot activity graph would suggest warming will continue, regardless what we do.
The issue is about economic control. The left continue to denounce (although they have already lost) the efforts of deregulation of the trade markets because it is against their interests in demanding to control the rest of us.
Leaving people to get on and trade freely without quotas, tariffs and duties which reduces the opportunity for governmental interference and social engineering (you can almost feel the shudders of withdraw wracking the corpse of socialism).
The rabble who burn and riot at every WTO meeting are just the weevils trying to despoil the free trade harvest, the mindless face of the debunked forces of Socialism, Marxism and Trotskyism.
Certainly the world has a lot of issues to face, deforestation, land degradation, water limitations, land, air and sea pollution and fish stock erosion.
All these problems are real and all are urgent but they are all solvable by a single action.
The action required is population control.
Fix the explosion of population and the “stress” we place the planet under will evaporate.
These real problems disappear, forests and fish stocks recover, air land and water quality improve.
Developed countries are at zero population growth.
Underdeveloped are not. Part of their reason for burgeoning population growth is the efforts of “developed world” folk to reduce mortality rates without balancing their efforts to reduce birth rates.
Lets talk about fixing the real problem and leave this climate sideshow to the pixies and others who are happier wandering around at the bottom of the garden.
