Time really is running out. It’s well past time for political posturing. I look at young children and even teenagers and I’m terrified for them. If a political party isn’t serious about this issue, ie doesn’t have a serious policy that will make an immediate, middle and longterm difference, then I for one can’t vote for them. Ordinary people want to make a difference, but are blocked all the time by government policies. I know this example is from the UK -
Bibi van der Zee talks to people about their thwarted efforts to make their homes greener - but at least in Britain there is some opportunity for homeowners to sell back their self-generated electricity. In Ireland that isn’t even on the agenda.

Mr Gore gave his testimony on the first day of Spring in the northern hemisphere. Let’s hope that the symbolism will not be lost on all of us, not just the US Congress.
