The Greens aren’t a united front in themselves which leads to perverse contradictions in their arguments. We must remember that they are lobby groups, no more no less and do not have sole rights to the truth and in my experience no more honest than the industrial lobby.

I am particularly annoyed by the talk of an energy gap and that because nuclear takes so long to build that it is therefore irrelevant. The problem is that we could have started building new nuclear and long-term underground storage facilities if the green lobby hadn’t been blocking it every step of the way. You can’t fault them for a winning strategy I suppose but it is deeply irresponsible. For once I’m grateful that Blair and now Brown has the balls to stand up to the green lobby. Let’s hope that Brown (and Cameron) have the same balls to get tough when the greens start invading nuclear power station building sites to protest.

I’m only interested in carefully researched scientific evidence and realistic solutions to how we might go about addressing the problem of climate change – nothing else is relevant, in my opinion.

However, as time has passed and emissions have increased of course the changes that have to be made will become more drastic and more urgent. Even the IPCC is now starting to issue dire warnings.

I’m not one to say we should all stop travelling anywhere as that wouldn’t help but as for those using the economy argument, I direct you towards the ‘New Scientist’ that explains the original calculations are all flawed. And the more realistic calculations really do support the use of mucho money now to save mucho money later!

The main point of my argument is that politians need to stop blithering and wasting time and actually set down strict rules and infrastructure to allow the population to reduce their own emissions.

Keep up the angry letter writing – it does achieve results
