How will the carbon cuckoo’s run without electricity?

Well I am glad that someone is noticing the insanity of it all. If politicians actually try to cut CO2 by 50 percent there will be a world revolution. It is easy to make promises about forty years down the line because none of these people will be alive. Why would you believe a politician about what their country will do in forty years when their politicians do not even meet commitments of today. Seems everything the G 8 does is just for show including the photos. The Brits will be the first to revolt because thanks to government stupidity they will run short of electricity in just a few years unless they go into national decline which is more than likely.

Our leaders are in carbon-cloud cuckoo land - Telegraph

For a perfect example of what is meant by “gesture politics” - an empty pledge given solely for effect, which the politician has no hope of honouring - one could not do better than this week’s commitment by the G8 leaders on how they want us to fight climate change.

Sitting on their cloud-wreathed Japanese mountain top, they solemnly agreed that, to halt global warming, their countries would aim by 2050 to halve their emissions of carbon dioxide.

If the G8’s leaders genuinely wanted to cut carbon emissions by 50 per cent over the next 40 years, this would mean taking steps they haven’t even begun to contemplate. It would require such a drastic cut in our energy use and standard of living that their peoples would have risen up in mass revolt long before the target was reached.

Forget the nonsense about a 50 per cent cut in carbon emissions by 2050. Our Government has already committed Britain to go even further, by imposing a statutory cut of 60 per cent through its Climate Change Bill.

But long before that, unless those who rule us come down out of cloud cuckoo land very fast, our lights will go out, our computers will shut down, our economy will judder to a halt and we shall face a national catastrophe. We may well be meeting that 60 per cent target sooner than we think - but not for reasons that reflect well on our politicians, of any party.
