Within this debate on the sources of the various environmental arguments, and particularly on the issue of global warning, let us not forget that what these sayers and purveyors of doom or enlightenment think, it will be the key politicians of the world who will make the final decisions.
A lot of individuals, who lack the necessary scientific knowledge and evidence to back up their arguments, are cashing in on this debate for their hour of fame, and income, but no doubt will be ignored by the politicians and / or their advisers.
The politicians, who are not scientifically trained, are obtaining advise from the general scientific community, but are also balancing the needs of their nation with the controversial requirements of the environmental argument put forward by those said "experts". Jobs and the economy keep or lose the votes that keep politicians in power, so you can almost guarantee whatever is advised our esteemed leaders will not commit political suicide over environmental issues. Although, rightly, we are cynical about their motives, the political leaders will endeavour to satisfy the citizens of their home country, and no more so than Gordon Brown who faces a General Election within the next eleven months.
What I am saying is simple; it IS the political leaders who are critical in all this, NOT whoever has published this, that or another! Therefore, if as individuals you feel strongly enough about this argument, on one side or the other, then start lobbying your MP's NOW, regardless of their parties colour. Express your feelings to them, along with writing to the Prime Minister himself, and let them all know how exactly you feel about this and how you will vote if they follow a road contrary to your beliefs. This is a time for strong democracy, so do not say "my voice does not matter", because
it does , unless of course you keep quiet and timid!! After that you can do no more.
Never forget either that although Great Britain has still a significant voice in the world, the environmental debate will finally be settled by the political leaders of the major G8 industrial states. Therefore, forget what the media impart to us in Britain, it will not form any part of the final solution, it is how all the G8 leaders act that is crucial, and so we all across the world must continually remind them that they act on our behalf. They
will however be influenced by the NGOs of this world, and their aligned "experts". That IS the danger area for us all, so do not forget them in your lobbying (and actions?). Let them know, WE the people exist, and they have no automatic right to speak for us!
The rest is over to you, and not the likes of Gore, professors, or any demigods!
