Big Issue

Any quite hopes I had that we (the royal we, of course) might be able to solve the climate change problem were dashed last night whilst watching Horizon.

Apparently, solving the problem of particle pollution is rapidly making Global Warming worse. Of course, this just gives grist to the mill of those who say there's no point in doing anything, and makes me wonder (being a conspiracy theorist and all) that this isn't just a grand hoax put about by the oil companies to ensure we keep on pumping extra dust into the air.

The fact that politicians continue to treat terrorism as a bigger threat than climate change is one thing, however, that can be and needs to be solved soon. Perhaps the evidence that pollution is responsible for the droughts that led to the 1984 Ethiopian Famine may guilt some people into doing something.

I never said I was anything other than a blind optimist.
