Hi Jock - been a while. You're a little less prolific of late - hope all is well. You may be interested to know that I've recently resurrected the LVT topic at my blog. Also, your name was mentioned about a week ago in one of my posts. All the best. PT.

Some sense in the "Swindle"

I had the repeat of that "Great Global Warming Swindle" on in the background last night. I didn't really watch it last week when it was on, and I only caught bits of it again last night (I know - I should turn the thing off if I'm not really watching it!). But there was one bit in particular, towards the end, with which I agreed, and whicih has been a bee in my bonnet for a long time.

It was not about the science. It was about social and development policy towards the developing/undeveloped world. All too often, the point was made, the developing world is sitting on piles of natural wealth and energy sources we want to use. We happily take it from them, but then tell them they shouldn't be using those same resources because they'll destroy the planet, as if somehow we are not.
