Title: Climate Conference
Post by: Number 6 on September 15, 2019, 12:53:11 pm
I do hope those attending the conference take note of this development which may expand to include the UK (or what's left) if our current national trajectory continues ?

That's all right then. Do as I say not as I do. Would we expect anything else from our fine upstanding council ?https://www.newburytoday.co.uk/news/news/28252/council-falls-at-first-hurdle-since-declaring-climate-emergency.html (https://www.newburytoday.co.uk/news/news/28252/council-falls-at-first-hurdle-since-declaring-climate-emergency.html)

Now I don't want to get involved in politics (I trust none of them) but this does sound like the bones of a real energy policy that will make a positive contribution towards protecting our environment in a sensible way. Certainly better that all of the money wasted on QE.

For the avoidance of doubt on the scale of the issue and the abilities of WBC to affect the outcome by it's declared climate emergency are put into sharp perspective here. Every little helps may work for supermarket advertising but solving the climate conundrum is big World Government stuff. Would you trust our politicians to get it right ?
