    No they went the cheap labour route, such as the community programme.

    I suppose she could have kept the mines open and kept on subsidising them, that would have built the economy <ok>

    The mining industry couldn't be subsidised forever, it just so happened that she was the only PM who had the balls to shut them down and tell the Unions to **** off. In fact, I am sure I read somewhere that Labour shutdown more mines than the Tories did, not sure if true.

    If only the world had listened to people like Carl Sagan, the climate would have been saved, with solar, wind, wave power.

    All that free energy gone.

    Labour did such a good job in the 70s and late 00s they got the boot.

    It's decreased since then.

    That's why we should all sponsor Polar bears.

    I'm sure the crazies said it was going to disappear

    Professor James Anderson of Harvard University envisions the Arctic Ice gone by the early 2020s. "The chance that there will be any permanent ice left in the Arctic after 2022 is essentially zero," he said in June 2019.

    In a Dec. 14, 2009, speech at the Copenhagen Climate Conference, Gore suggested the possibility of the Arctic losing some or all of its ice in the summer months within five to seven years, citing researchers associated with the Naval Postgraduate School.
    "Some of the models suggest to Dr. (Wieslav) Maslowski that there is a 75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years."

    The New York Times reported in 1969 the extinction of human life within 20 years, “unless we are extremely lucky.” In 1970, James P. Lodge, a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, predicted a new ice age by 2000, a prognosis that was confirmed by S. I. Rasool at NASA the following year. In 1972, Brown University warned then-President Nixon in an open letter about the mortal peril of global cooling, and this was confirmed by The Guardian in 1974, citing the evidence of space satellites.

    In 1988, Agence France Presse declared that the Maldive Islands would be completely underwater by 2018. The level of the Indian Ocean where the Maldives are has not changed appreciably in the intervening years. In 1989, the United Nations declared the rising seas will “obliterate nations” by 2000. Also in 1989, Jim Hansen, the prominent scientist who had lectured Congress the year before on the deadly consequences of the greenhouse effect, reportedly predicted that New York City’s West Side Highway would be underwater by 2019.

    The London Independent declared, “Snowfalls are a thing of the past. Our children will not know what snow is.” But four years later The Guardian declared that the Pentagon had advised former President Bush that “in 20 years, Britain will be Siberian.” However, in 2008 Hansen told The Associated Press: “We’re toast. In five to 10 years, the Arctic will be ice-free.” The same year, Al Gore made the same prediction but confined it to five years — an ice-free Arctic by 2013. The following year, Britain’s Prince Charles declared that there were just eight years remaining “to save the world. The price of capitalism is too high.” (He has never had to bear any of that price.) This was too complacent for then-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who said in 2009: “We have fewer than 50 days to save our planet from catastrophe.”

    Last month, Glacier National Park in Montana said it would be changing signs posted more than a decade earlier that warned that its glaciers would disappear by 2020. The signs were based on “the best available predictions at the time.”

    The word Arctic comes from the Greek meaning bear and you can see the Great Bear from the Arctic and Antarctic means no bears because you can't see the Great Bear from there. I am guessing it is just a coincidence that you get bears in the Arctic and none in the Antarctic?
