Planetary fever takes a back seat to real issues.
RTCC reports:
The crisis in Syria and the ongoing economic downturn have pushed climate change out of the spotlight at the G8 summit this week.
The Queen’s speech in May, which sets out government policy for the year ahead, listed climate change as one of five priorities for the UK’s G8 presidency.
The issue is not on the agenda for world leaders gathering in Lough Erne with foreign ministers taking up the issue instead.
Global warming may be taking a back seat to real issues but it remains a favorite topic of leaders who act like they believe in it. That’s bad news; if they talk that way, they will sometimes act that way.
