Kevin Rudd visits London and complains about global warming:
Mr Rudd chaired a climate change session of the "progressive
governments" conference in Watford, outside London. By the time Mr Rudd
and Ms Rein attended the Sunday service yesterday at the 12th century St
Botolph's Church, Chevening, in Kent, the snow was several centimeters
deep.
It turns out that Rudd's real problem with global warming is that there's
not enough of it.
Mind you, that's just my interpretation of whatever the hell it was he
was trying to say:
There has to be a greater synergy between, let's call it our policy
leader****p in this, which has been focused so much, legitimately, on
targets and global architecture, almost reverse-engineered back to the
means by which you can quickly deliver outcomes, and on the demand side
in our economy we're looking at potential advances in terms of 20 to 25%
range if you do this across the board. It all takes cost, but let me
tell you it's probably the quickest lever you can pull given the
challenges we face.
