Climate change irony

-

I WOULD like to point out that I’m a “manmade climate sceptic“and the irony of Geoff Holland’s argument is that up until now people of his ilk have always claimed that ”the big companies have been the source of all our problems”.

Could I also point out that the patron saint of climate change, Al Gore, increased his wealth, many times over by early investment­s in carbon schemes or should I say scams.

Then departed the scene, forthwith, having lost interest.

The big companies named are no more altruistic today than they were in days gone by.

Shareholde­rs demand dividends, this year, next, every year and these companies can see, like Big Al, an endless line of cash for their investors, paid for by the ill informed.
