I heard your recent interview on the radio and wish to say that I was very disappointed with your comments on 2 points.
Firstly, the compensation to developing countries very rarely reaches those people for whom it is intended.viz. African leaders have been notoriously criminal in the milking of funds.
Secondly, I believe the whole debate on the subject is doomed by the hypocrisy on the matter of soaring world population, the effect of which must surely negate any short term impact we may achieve(if indeed the science is finally proven about anthropogenic global warming.) Although I am not educated on the vast and broad &#039;ologies&#039; and &#039;isms&#039;, from where I stand, the debate continues to confound most people and seems very questionable.
As we are all in the hands of people like yourself, I sincerely hope you, and your colleagues, are 99% sure of where we&#039;re headed! (the 1% shortage is also worthy of  great caution!)
Sincerely,
Harry Curby </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Prof Howes,</p><p>I heard your recent interview on the radio and wish to say that I was very disappointed with your comments on 2 points.</p><p>Firstly, the compensation to developing countries very rarely reaches those people for whom it is intended.viz.
