Shipping pollution is not a solution : Comments

By Chris Lewis, published 28/6/2011

China emits 50 per cent more carbon to produce similar products to the West - that's why a carbon tax is currently a bad idea.

Raycom,

Well we are obviously not going to agree. I do note that you do seem a bit out of date with your "evidence" and the people you quote - another example - Richard Feynham may have been anti AGW but he died in 1988.

Coincidentally I was watching a re-run of that English TV series "Yes Prime Minister". In it was set out the standard 4 part Foreign Office response to a crisis:
1. Say that nothing is going to happen.
2. Say that something may happen but we should do nothing about it.
3. Say maybe we should do something, but there is nothing we can do, and
4. Say maybe something we could have done, but it is too late now.
Apparently works every time!

I'd say amongst the non science followers many have moved from 1 to 2, but even getting to 4 is not going to help is it Raycom?
