A parliamentary committee has recommended that the government appoint a minister specifically to deal with climate change, after its review of government policy revealed that departments are not coordinating properly to deal with the issue.

The Environmental Audit Committee said there had been a “decade of failure” to tackle Britain’s ever rising carbon emissions, and accused the government of not rising to the challenge.

On the plus side, it said, the government has created a cross-government Office of Climate Change and drafted the Climate Change Bill.

Well, whoopee-do! What a bunch of tossers. Repeat after me, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ANTHROPOMORPHIC CLIMATE CHANGE!

That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t stop using so-called fossil fuels as our main power source, so listen up if you are shouting at me for being a global warming heretic. Think about it … we build some small scale high temperature gas cooled pebble bed nuclear reactors with which we generate electricity. We use that electricity to desalinate sea water, power Maglev trains, goods delivery systems, and get this for a novel idea, make hydrogen by electrolysis. We pipe the hydrogen to the forecourts, and Honda’s proposed home hydrogen stations, where people can fill up their new hydrogen fuelled Honda cars.

Or, we could appoint a climate change minister and spend the next 20 years talking shit to each other instead.
