a deeply moving programme - I feel a rant coming on - anyone of a sensitive disposition is advised to cover their ears!
The truth is, governments are fiddling while the planet burns - there is visibly no political will to do a damn thing about global warming. They pay lip-service to it whilst doing precisely buggerall!!!!!!!!
If you want to know how seriously this bunch of total tossers we have ruling us takes this threat, they have awarded a whole 50 million quid for three years of renewables grants - take off 30 million for admin (just like their predecessors, Clearskies) - we are left with 20 million quid over 3 years - 6.66 million per annum, 10p per person per year - balance that if you can against the fact that Whitehall bureaucracy costs each and every one of us £855 per annum!
As was pointed out in the programme, we CAN do loads ourselves, without farting about waiting for the Houses of Parliament to be under water before they notice!
