The Climate of Opinion

Hilarious and bizarre to see a Conservative Party TV spot commence with vox pop from what looked like a spotty eco-hippy. "Vote blue...Go green" was the slogan. If Bremner Bird & Fortune had done it as a piss-take on how the Tories might revive their fortunes a year or two back the delivery would have been too sharp for the punchline to hit home. Same day as Cameron flies pollutingly to Norway for an eco-photo-opp Gordon 'Tax Relief on Dead Babies' Brown is talking about the same stuff.

Has big-biz given the nod that discussion of climate-change is now worthwhile, even imperative, for the political class? Has the scientific debate generated enough concern in the international commercial elite that the latter's well-being/standing/power/assets are seen as having a slightly raised risk-profile, and so the masses must be acclimatised (ho ho) to being led into another change tunnel? Can't say I've caught much vox pop concern with the environment to provide the mood-music to which these two self-serving cunts are pretending to respond, important as I think it is meself. Now Immigration, Muslim territorialism...that's another matter.
