Climate Change Summit condemned by Interim Manager

A focus group of average UK citizens concluded that the forthcoming climate change summit in Copenhagen will fail because:

1. the climate change models predicting global warming are crude and flawed - so the science is weak - although they agreed that the probability that CO2 is causing catastrophic climate change is high

2. the 'selfish' gene in human nature will obviate a global consensus on appropriate action

3. the western economic system free market growth model based on cheap energy through burning carbon is totally incompatible with a low carbon future - but is unlikely to be changed because of vested interests.

4. any proposed solution involving carbon trading will fail because the market will be skewed and impossible to police

An Interim Management expert on climate change agreed with these conclusions.
