I'd like to see a cost-benefit analysis for insulation in social housing versus other options.
I don't want HMG pandering to the specific demands of one small group of people based on their organiser's desires and antisocial behaviour.
This particular method of protest is unacceptable, and should be stopped with whatever force is required.
Patrick Moore above has some good points but a lot of it is amplification of the irrelevant, skewed to support his conspiracy theory. There are indeed masses of historical climate measurements, and results from recent studies which are "unfortunate" for climate change claimants.
But there is enough to convince me that yes, we have a problem and we're causing a lot of it, and if we care about the next couple of generations at least, we need to act.
The world will not act in time, so we'll have to learn to live with it. Whatever the UK does won't quite be as ineffectual as a drop in the ocean, but it's pretty small. I wouldn't want us to go faster in reducing than the major polluters do, or we'll just put ourselves at a disadvantage relative to those bigger economies.
What we should be able to do is use our technical abilities to develop pollution-saving technologies which we can patent and sell around the world.
