To continue the chilly theme, the lack of economic growth is giving many Western
governments and their corporate puppet masters the opportunity to let global
warming become a lesser priority. And it’s not just governments. The BBC is
currently broadcasting an excellent series of documentary programmes, Frozen
Planet, about life in the Arctic & Antarctic. The series is due to
culminate with an episode about the human contribution to climate change but, in
a shameless piece of unprincipled profiteering worthy of David “Snake Oil”
Cameron, the BBC has apparently been selling the series to other countries with
that last episode as an optional extra, in order to improve sales (ref). Which,
as Greenpeace said, would be rather like screening a film about the Titanic but missing out the bit with the iceberg.
