Unfortunately that would only work if the majority of us were qualified to comment on climate change, which we are not. Like brain surgery, bridge building, fire fighting, sewage systems etc I think we the people would be best served by a Govt that listens to the experts.Quote:

Quite frankly, I couldn't care less. As I said earlier, I'll be dead before it's a real issue. I've never been interested in rallies or getting behind change, even as a young man. It's a good thing I never became a schoolteacher (at the end of high school, I had 4 offers from different States. I wouldn't have been Left enough to be a teacher.)Quote:
