god you brits are massive polluters. Didn't you sign Kyoto??

Thanks for pointing that out. We are most profligate with hydrocarbon usage. Sending empty jumbo aircraft around the world just to keep landing spaces at London's Heathrow Airport.... going to New York just to save a few pennies on groceries and do some Xmas shopping... and using voluminous amounts of organic oil to fry our fish, chips and mars bars.

... Don't tell Al Gore!

However, we still manage to use LESS THEN HALF the carbon pollution of Americans (per capita)

So when some global climate changing event occurs, and fingers get pointed, it's the Americans who get it in the neck every time. They just don't seem to able to adapt.
