Good and timely article Andrew,

I find it absurd that China is leading in climate change compliance.
The argument of waiting for everyone else to do it sounds irrational and reflect the lack of leadership in the bureaucrats.

I agree with Rhian. The analogy between Christianity and the green movement is valid for reasons that show the inhumanity of both. Both systems require external and questionable justification for actions that are in themselves sound. The actions encouraged in response to global warming are all things we should be doing anyway, irrespective of global warming.

Yeah, I think Rhian has said it all.

Thank you, I'd rather be free to question God and Climate Change than permitted the small indulgence of hypocrisy.
