Global Warming in the news

Combatting Global Warming is headlining the news. Apparently it's OK to fly as long as we reduce CO2 elsewhere by 90%! That means climate campaigners and bureaucrats can continue to fly all over the world for pointless conferences while the rest of us suffer. We have to face facts; the talked about CO2 reductions are just not going to happen, no matter how much hot air is pumped into the debate. People use energy - food, power, travel etc, and energy produces CO2; the richer people get the more energy they are going to use: everyone knows that. Sensible people are not expecting China and other rising economies to reverse their massive growth, and no-one wants people in poor nations to be forever chained to the dirt under their feet. We have to prepare for global warming and deliver sustainability programmes instead of wasting time and money on pie in the sky CO2 reductions. Global warming might even be good overall for Britain; we just don't know. It's not politically correct to talk about that possibility, is it?
