However I digress but it actually proves my point. There is no one in any of the Political parties who is looking at climate change mitigation on a Nuts & Bolts level, how mitigation can be implemented in a sensible fashion in effect without scaring the General Public & Electorate. There are really sensible big steps that can & are being made but it must be done sensibly & incrementally without a big bang. And this is the time to do those things I read with interest this morning, that there is a breakaway Group within the Green Party that supports the building of HS2. Now before I start I must add that I do not support HS2 in its current form at its projected cost. Now having worked in the Railways both passenger & freight in my early working life I completely understand the necessity of increasing capacity on the West Coast Main Line, but was it completely necessary to make it a completely New Route at Ultra High Speed. In fact the capacity necessary, is actually necessary in the Freight Sector where getting trucks off the road is a bigger priority from a climate perspective.
and make preparations as we make our way in recovery out of the Pandemic.
But as I say Parties and Government should be gathering together people within them who understand how the General Public do react to these Big Changes that are necessary and moderate Prime Ministerial desires to be “World Beating” and Best and actually take into account the costs to people’s lives and existence.
There is certainly a part 2 to this post, where I will talk in greater detail at some future date about those moderate changes
