Forum talk:A role for ordinary citizens in UK sustainable development

There was an interview on Newsnight the other night which got at the apparent discrepancy between what the government says and what it does on climate change. Like probably some others, I wonder what Churchill would have made of the state we're in. What questions would he have been asking that the rest of us can't or don't want to see? I can't help thinking that the one thing he would have seen was the need to mobilise the British people and their friends and allies in the commonwealth of nations. If a government really saw this as the greatest threat to mankind wouldn't it be falling over itself to help local communities lead the way to the broad sunlit uplands of a low carbon future?
