I haven't seen the global warming show yet, I hope to see it over the weekend. I did see a couple of snippets while rewinding a tape or two. The one comment I can agree, at least partly with, is that developing nations will not be happy when we say to them that they cannot embrace all the technology that we enjoyed and insist that the be "green". You could see the shows point that the "environmental side" is holding back the development of these countries, but the Earth could not survive the environmental onslaught caused by the whole of Africa driving cars, mobile phones, world travel etc. I guess we had the benefit of living at a time of plentiful energy, but by the time we realised the errors of our ways, it was too late for anyone else to join in.
The energy party is about over and it is getting time for everyone to go home and if anyone turns up now to join in....to quote a very famous saying..."tough titties".
