It used to be Europe, now it looks like it's the enviroment!
If any of you had brought, or had access to a copy of the Sunday Telegraph today, then you will have read that David Cameron is planning on tax hikes on air travel if he ever becomes Prime Minister.
Natrually some of the airlines are unhappy about this, but so also are some in the Conservative Party. There are a no of Tories who tend to poo poo some of the comments made by experts on global warming, not least John Redwood, who is quoted on the back of the main supplement as being against the view that the current environment debacle is the fault of mankind!
Poor Tories, they have to sit and stomach a lot. The environment, Cameron's sacking of Patrick Mercer, hugging hoodies etc... Come the next election it will have to be asked whether David Cameron is leader of a coalition or two active political parties who are uncomfortable with each other!

I would like a leader, any leader, to step forward in any party, who really has a grasp of what is going on in the world! It is so bloody obvious that the whole CO2 scare has been cooked up over three decades by a small cadre of grant-seeking American and English biologists along with their assorted assistants in the eco/enviro movement, and more lately, mad modelers of computer climatology largely based on flawed assumptions and badly biased by spurious heat-island-based temperature records. The whole "theory" now has so much baggage that the newly developing science of global ecosytem cycles and meteorology based on a more up to date understanding of these systems is having a hard time gaining funding or being heard through the lard and fat of the existing cadre of CO2-obsessed shortsightedness. It is deluded to assume that the earth's climate is driven by a gas that constitutes such a small proportion of the atmosphere. I just hope the big picture of the paleoclimatoloy of the Holocene, the past non-catastrophic warm periods, and the massive misunderstanding of how weather and climate work is finally understood through the madness. Then maybe the current warming period can be seen for what it is: an opportunity rather than a liability. D. Crabtree, Ph.D. 1986

Heh. Just like the Blairites and left wingers in the Labour Party these last ten+ years!
Will Dr Crabtree, what is your evidence to support this!
Dunadan, the difference is, the Labour coalition work in more harmony, in that the left don't grumble all the time
