From: Dave Croucher, Pinfold Gardens, Doncaster.

Countries like India, China and some in South America are either unable or unwilling to co-operate with others in their efforts to halt, or at least slow the change. We can only hope that eventually a smidgeon of common sense may prevail the world over and give our species a while longer before the inevitable happens.
