Being a Green is one of the most frustrating experiences I know.

Every time a new study or report on the environment is released everything is always worse than we thought it was. The latest claims that global warming has emerged as the biggest threat to global security and the well being of billions of people. The shrinking glaciers, rising sea levels, thawing permafrost, extraordinary heat waves, enormous forest fires, massive floods and shifting vegetation zones are already providing compelling evidence about global warming.

Even the American science fraternity are coming down hard on the side of climate change, which is making George W Bush's position completely untenable. As was reported in the New Statesman, when global warming takes off, at least there will be plenty of sand for the climate change denyers to hide their heads in.
