Number One: anyone who denies Global Warming (or Global Weirding as I think it will be called) is an idiot.
Number Two: it is turning extreme earlier than the experts expected.
I am not sure there is the global political will to do anything serious about it; heaven help future generations.
The short sighted and stubborn policy of the Con/Lib government to cut back and not invest in infrastructure, is coming home to roost. There is now no denying that cuts to the EPA in allocation of funds and staff are a great mistake. The question is where do we go from here?
It could be that the UK becomes a world leader in technology and design, and engineering in protecting as much as can be protected for the next few generations.
We should be spending twice the amount the experts say needs to be spent.
How? I for one think it is time to reallocate funds.
Does the UK need trident and the vessels to fire these weapons? Does the Navy need two carriers and the seemingly useless new aircraft to fly from them. (Watch the Newsnight report from last night.)
Wouldn't one carrier do nicely? Perhaps it is time to increase specialist manpower and not order these super expensive bits of kit. Perhaps it is time to work out different roles within NATO. Perhaps it is time to form an organization and integration of the Allied armed forces and challenge the rotten Middle Eastern Hippocrates, who fund the terrorist armies who are today's enemies. Let's jaw jaw with North Korea, Iran, China, and the Russian Federation.
We must while there is still time.
