In the Press today - Climate Change and Global Warming allowed in schools.

So Al Gore's movie will be permitted to be broadcast in secondary schools, despite 9 scientific errors.

These errors are of timing as opposed to content. I wonder if the individual bringing the action, (a Mr. Dimmock) to prevent broadcast could not have spent £200,000 on achieving something positive, other than swelling the stocks of claret in the wine cellars of the lawyers involved?

Marcus Brigstocke, writing in the Daily Telegraph, (the online edition is environmentally better of course)has been seeking the funny side of human-induced climate change.

He says upon reflection, he thinks mankind a "brilliant animal"?

As an alien living on the planet, one would fall about in inter-galactic hysterical laughter.

A tiny minority of mankind demonstrate brilliance and vision; the remainder bullock through life in an orgy of greed-fueled desire, consumption and waste.

Locust-like, these brilliant animals consume everything with zero regard for sustainability.

When resources are depleted, man will turn upon his neighbour to grab what little he has left. A few brilliant minds can't undo the ignorance of billions!

Surely, lifestyle changes must come from our own choices and not from Government- induced modifications via taxation, which Marcus seems to feel would be best.
