Everyone must accept that all governments are corrupt, that is a simple fact related to human nature.

The problem with Labour is they're corrupt AND incompetent!

The whole climate change thing comes and goes, you get armageddon style announcements one minute, then hear nothing for months/years till the goverment need a boost again, being seen to be doing the right thing.

As chips says, they're not really interested, and IMO thats to do with the current 4 year voting period. No one will make the massive investment required for fear of being booted out sharply and th publis wont realise that higher taxation is the price for a century of environmental decadence.

China is an interesting point, int hat they really cant afford to care. they are going through a revolution like we did years ago, just no one knew about the effects of emissions when Britain was industrialised. Unfortunately now we do we try to restrict China's development by denying them the same freedom and raising their costs.
