CLimate change more threatening than terrorism

I'm sure he's right -the powers that be, focussed [justifiably, and David King aknowledges, rightly] on the threat of terrorism but they should not take their eyes off the climate ball [should that be globe?] -the potential consequences will mean greater misery for many more in future [and not so far away as all that since we are beginning to feel the effects already]. A purely utilitarina analysis would suggest that a very practive response is required. The last budget [as blogged a couple of weeks ago] suggests we aren't do that. And the recent fossil carbon figures for the UK give no cause for complacency at all.
