That's funny because the 3 ex-miners I know all blame Thatcher 100%.
I can't help but feel that there not much we can do to stop our climate change. We are simply going the way of the dinosaurs. We can change our consumption but I don't think it will make much difference in the grand scheme of things.
Scientists say the sun will supernova or run out of energy in 5 or 6 billion years. The dinosaurs died off about 65 milion years ago. I reckon mankinds time will come and pass before our planet turns into a lump of ice. What will replace us I have no idea (if anything will replace us, maybe robots ). I can't get too upset at what my future family will do millions of years down the line.
That said, I'll still continue to recycle.
