Noticed that the enviroment isnt mentioned anymore recently?

Well, people are rather more worried about their jobs etc..

I think there are a couple of loons still bleating on about it in the news but there is no doubt that it has taken a back seat (though I suppose as I don't watch the news on the BBC anymore it may be somewhat more prevalent on there).

Oh i dont know, i see that crappy advert this stupid government has trotted out, y'know, the one about WE are producing too much co2 for the planet to cope with!!! Oh really? Then try getting the chinese to stop building coal; fired power stations then, but i suppose as our great leader, and his predecessor have said that WE have to do our bit!

I still hear it all the time. Heard something on radio 5 the other night about a film with Pete Pothleswait (sp?) which is about how we're all going to die of climate change. During the interview he was asked why he compared those who don't believe in climate change to holocaust deniers. Never has my respect for someone vanished so quickly

I work in the construction / development industry and I'd say that despite the big slowdown it really hasn't gone away.
