While mostly my sentiments are similar (we're fucked and it's too late to do anything), I also figure giving it a shot is better than nothing (I don't even have kids to worry about!), so in that vein I was looking more for opinions on who/how/whether government has any hope of changing things, and who is most likely to do so. How Labour compares to the Greens.

I’m all for our politicians to tackle climate change, provide better education on this subject, guidance and incentives, stronger planning restrictions, more off grid solutions.. it’s total irony considering where my work is. Are we as a nation doing enough, my response would be no, let’s start with no airport expansions, see where politicians sit with that..
Can Labour succeed in convincing the electorate.. I doubt it, sorry to sound negative about this. It will become a national emergency in our lifetime though with widespread consequences. And those that believe it’s not important enough today or indeed the last thirty years, will soon see the impact either directly or financially.
My last point, those with the least amount of influence will probably be the ones most affected.

Frankly, too little too late..
the 150 year look ahead for the River Thames and London looks very bleak. The only way we’ll survive is to become amphibious and suck nutrients from the river bed. And no amount of new intervention from the UK will reverse climate change globally.. since the industrial revolution started some 250 years ago.. human activity has just sped up the next global cataclysmic event. This is just my opinion, not scientific fact..
enjoy the terrestrial / pedal life while you still can..
