UK - Global Warming: is it now time we adjusted more to Nature?

Question

instead of having 9 to 5 culture, come rain shine or tornado, all year round?

Answer 1

The economy is the most important thing in the world right now. If a country goes fully green their economy will shrink which means the input/output of resources will be too small and the whole system will break down and the wealth which the country has will be spread out across the world however Gordon Brown is making some good decisions about future energy so when countries which are fully crude dependant have to go green they won't be able to do it in time.

Answer 2

we need to change to a life sustaining culture based on the realities of living on a finite planet and it's life support systems and away from the industrial growth society based on short-term personal/corporate gain.
