Christopher Booker: Is The Political Class’s Obsession With Global Warming Rotting Their Brains?
Date: 23/05/18
Christopher Booker, Daily Mail
Our MPs are as much a party to these green disasters as the ministers who propose them. It’s as if the political class’s obsession with global warming rots their brains — for which the rest of us have to pay a very heavy price.
The Government earned plaudits from the green lobby yesterday for its new plan to crack down on the craze for wood-burning stoves.
As the Mail reported on its front page, the stoves chuck out lethal pollution, particularly from wet wood, and contribute to thousands of early deaths from lung and heart disease.
But hang on! One reason Britain burns more wood than it has done for decades — a 2016 survey found 7.5 per cent of households in London burn wood — is that only recently, the Government and the greens told us burning wood to heat our homes was the best thing we could do for the environment.
