It only seems that the UK is taking this seriously. If you go to the US for example, all office lights and computers are left on all day and night, you get big trucks releasing pollution into the atmosphere with no care. (It's not much different here). On the scale of things, the collosal effort that the UK makes just seems to be marignal. 

you're right - go to the US and you see that no matter what we do - we're screwed - the US couldn't give a monkeys about the environment - outside of a few hippies in LaLa Land

honestly - us recycling our plastic is laughable 

Here we go again.

Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in the US declined by 2.8 percent in 2008 while the UK's carbon dioxide emissions fell by 1.5 per cent in 2007 (latest data available). China, meanwhile, is expected to overtake the US as the largest emitter this year and, according to the 2050 China Energy and CO2 Emissions Report released by the NDRC, an increase in carbon emissions will be recorded every year from now on to 2030.

Still, that won't you stop you hating the US, will it?

We are one tiny island, whats the point in us being emotionally blackmailed by environmental nuts when anything we do is insignificant in relation to what goes on elsewhere! It has to be global or theres no point!
What exactly is my driving round in a V6 going to effect??

I dont think it's a case of people hating the US Nick (although I could be wrong), I think what people mean is that us, say, saving 2% of 100 is pointless if the US is saving 3% of 1000000.

Well put STMO, I don't think nick can see the wood for the trees to be honest!

I am sure there are others that would agree with you. I earnestly hope, however, that a few do actually agree with me.

I don't disagree with you my love, but we cannot possibly hope to put the world to rights, our small efforts just fade into insignificance compared to what the rest of the planet is doing!

We are all doomed, whatever we do. But this country is in the grip of barking mad loons.
