The Archbishop of Canterbury continues his path to complete irrelevance.
He said that fear paralysed individuals, corporations and governments from making the choices needed to affect real and lasting change.

"We are afraid because we don't know how we can survive without the comforts of our existing lifestyle. We are afraid that new policies will be unpopular with a national electorate. We are afraid that younger and more vigorous economies will take advantage of us – or we are afraid that older, historically dominant economies will use the excuse of ecological responsibility to deny us our proper and just development."

Yesterday church bells in Denmark and other countries rang 350 times to represent the figure many scientists believe is a safe level of carbon dioxide in the air: 350 parts per million.
In other news, Tony Blair said that it doesn't matter if the science isn't reliable, we still have to act. Could you explain this to me?

Regarding Blair's comment, obviously it is quite idiotic. But it at least does show a weakness in the global warming doctrine that he is even willing to admit that the science is faulty at best.

Blair, like Gore, is probably trying to profit from the carbon scam. A few weeks ago he registered an "internet name" according to the U.K. Daily Mail, which is thought to be related to a "green" technologies business.
