WHAT ??? . . . GREAT BRITAIN YIELDS TO CLIMATE DENIERS If global warming is not new, it is urgent: a subject that should never be far from our thoughts. Yet within 24 hours of the American associations warning the British governments budget confirmed that it no longer wanted to fight it . . . David Cameron, who once promised that if you voted blue you would go green, now appoints Owen Paterson, a man who is not just ignorant of environmental science but proud of his ignorance, as his environment secretary. George Osborne, who once promised that his Treasury would be at the heart of this historic fight against climate change, now gives billions in tax concessions to the oil and gas industry, cuts the funds for onshore wind farms and strips the Green Investment Bank of the ability to borrow and lend. - Nick Cohen
