The Oil Drum: Europe

the Government's assessment is that the world's oil and gas resources are sufficient to sustain economic growth for the foreseeable future.

Yes - foreseeable never stretching more than 4 years to the date of the next election.

Here's a quote from Backstop, a Welsh Hill farmer:

we need leadership that bases a wholesale policy review on the issues of GW + PO.

Anything less is effectively reckless endangerment by those elected to the highest duty of care. So at some point perhaps it may be worth assembling an inditement for prosecution at the ICJ on the Hague ?

Just the threat, and associated publicity, might leverage significant effects on policy reform.

Strong stuff I know but when tshtf bringing about teotwawki those responsible will I suspect be held to account.

The precautionary principal should be applied by all our politicians and civil servants. This can be done in such a way that focusses economic actvity towards preserving our future as opposed to lining the pockets of everyone today and living only for the present.
