Yet Another Statement of the Bleedin' Obvious!

A few more trees have disappeared to produce "Global Report on Human Settlements 2011 - Cities and Climate Change" a 250 page document from the UN telling us (apparently - I refuse to pay $58 for this) that cities are a hot bed of climate changing emissions. Well, golly gosh! We know this! We know where the emissions arise. The issue is mitigation and adaptation - as much of the former as possible and as much of the latter as necessary. There is absolutely no need for another fat report whose only value is to prop up a wonky desk leg (do people still do that?). Welcome to grumpy old man land.
