As the Guardian reports the Boy Mili is going to introduce a bill about climate change. Exactly what’ll be in it we don’t quite know yet. However:
Tony Juniper, head of Friends of the Earth, also called for legally binding targets for reductions of about 3% a year.
Legally binding? How does that work? If you or I or the people en masse simply don’t change their behaviour enough to hit those targets, the government sues itself? Or it sues us? Individually or in bulk?
How does it work?
Nice photo the Groan used to illustrate it as well.
Captioned ‘pollution over the City of London’ . Which indeed it is and a very good photo it is too.
One thing though, it’s not all that good as an example of CO2 emissions: you see, that sort of aerosol and particularate pollution actually cools rather than warms: it masks the effect of CO2. It’s actually one of the oddities of the whole debate, that by cleaning up such visible airborne pollution, we’ve made ourselves more vulnerable to the effects of the rise in CO2.
