“The man’s a climate change denying halfwit.” Stephen declared in deep disgust.

“Could have been worse,” Cutter commented, looking more phlegmatic about the latest ministerial appointment than Lester had expected. “We could have been landed with a god-bothering creationist.”

“She got the Department of Transport,” Claudia commented.

Stephen rolled his eyes at the pair of them. “Climate change matters!”

“I’m not saying it doesn’t, lad, but life survived the Permian extinction, so it’ll survive whatever man throws at it.”

Lester smiled wolfishly. “Congratulations on a healthy sense of perspective, Professor. Now, if you’ve quite finished, gentlemen, can we move on?”

Lester's reaction was priceless, as was Claudia's contribution.

And for the record, I agree both with Stephen and Cutter :P

Life will survive, but that doesn't mean mankind will

[fredbassett]

I certainly felt different about extinctions having read Benton's book on the end-Permian. But that doesn't excuse stupid behaviour by man.

Why can't we get some decent politicians! LOL. Nice one.

[fredbassett]

maybe because there aren't any? *g*

Yes, B is very much of the opinion that we probably can't fuck things up too much from a long term perspective (though I suspect a Nuclear War would set the planet back a lot further than climate change will).

Not sure its good for civilisation as we know it though.

[fredbassett]

If we can lose around 98% of life on earth I imagine we can survive most things.
