When he does touch on the subject it's never with any sense of urgency.<br />And yes, what a missed opportunity the CBI was. Barker has been very generous to the CBI on planning (playing Santa a little early),so a pep talk on climate change might have evened things up a little.Wildgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238319936690456474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28078378.post-23011955039204370922006-12-06T21:41:00.000+00:002006-12-06T21:41:00.000+00:00I couldn't agreee more.

The PBR after Stern should have been an opportunity to set a new direction. Given climate change is supposed to be the biggest issue facing society - how does that correspond with simply increasing the climate change levy with the rate of inflation! <br /><br />The coverage by the BBC was interesting though. On the one hand you had the usual ENGO comments of 'its not enough.' On the other hand the BBC showed everyday people being interviewed at petrol stations who couldn't seem to stomach even a 1 penny increase in fuel. Just shows that we all - not just the politicians - have a long way to go to win public opinion round on tackling climate change....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
