| Comment | Agreed totally.
The debate around public policy response to climate change is itself prone to rapid change. We all know this, we've all seen how much the debate has shifted in just five-ten years. But I don't think we've all really internalised that the debate is fluid and ever-shifting towards greater interventions. Ordinarilly I might've said,
I think people (mostly those dead against this very idea of tinkering with the M8 even if they "*get*" the wider climate debate) are behind the curve. As much as debate on climate policy has shifted already towards greater action to reduce emissions, we'll only see this ramp up as we approach and surpass the 1.5 degree barrier. Incredibly so I imagine.
What seemed absolutely mental 15 years ago (demolishing motorways), and perhaps a little less mental but definitely leftfield now, could well seem completely logical, obvious, or or dare I say urgent in the policy agenda 5-10 years from now. |
