Newsnight 20th August - Climate Change (and other stuff) | Quote: | Climate Change
The tents and the banners are coming down and the campfires are cold. Was the week long protest-fest at Heathrow over global warming and airport expansion a damp squib? Is there climate change fatigue? The leading article in the new edition of Ecologist magazine seems to suggest there is. But is that because companies and local authorities have responded to pressure and adopted climate friendlier policies? Is there a lack of leadership from politicians, who once told us that global warming was the biggest threat facing the planet? Or is it because the pollution threat from China and India is so grave, it seems futile for individuals to make tough lifestyle choices which have a miniscule impact. |
