So Paris has been picked to host the latest climate change summit;
and receive a host of protestors and campaigners in its wake. Police have
already had to subdue the crowds with water cannons and tear gas to keep the
rioters under control. But why choose Paris in the first place? Surely after
the recent shootings the global community would come together to give the city
a break and change their venue? But no, those extra security operations and
fancy hotels have already been booked, so on with the show. I know that the
everyday person shouldn’t be put off by recent events in changing their plans;
but with an event that is known to attract protestors; you just have to ask
why. And statistics are wildly off-course, my 1991 Blue Peter annual says that
the fossil fuels would be running out by now; yet we continue to sell
high-powered consumer electronics. Well, I told you so.
