With these new Red/Green links, presumably we should now be cheering on George Osborne for having stalled Britain’s economy.

Wonderful news today:

“The UK’s manufacturing sector contracted in July for the first time in two years, a survey suggests.”

With this reported call today by the IMF, I take it that the usual denunciation of the IMF as reactionary capitalist institution will be rolled out:

The U.K. government and Bank of England may need to increase stimulus through tax cuts or bond purchases if weak economic growth and high unemployment persist, the International Monetary Fund said.

“If the economy appears likely to experience a prolonged period of weak growth and high unemployment — and if inflationary pressures consequently ease — it will be important to ensure that the slowdown does not become entrenched,” the Washington-based fund said in a report today. Still, any temporary fiscal measures should be accompanied by additional steps to “safeguard fiscal sustainability and market confidence,” it said.

U.K. manufacturing unexpectedly shrank in July, adding to evidence of a weakening recovery after data last week showed the economy barely grew in the second quarter. Prime Minister David Cameron has vowed to stick to his budget cuts to reduce the deficit, adding to pressure on an economy where consumer incomes are being squeezed by inflation that is more than twice the central bank’s 2 percent target.

You forgot to put a link to the e-book. It is available at the following url: http://clients.squareeye.net/uploads/compass/documents/COM_Good_Society_Green_Society_04.pdf

No matter how, but always the “big brother” is one who give the cards. If no environmental law suits when suits have. If you are replacing the entire fleet of vehicles in the world by “new and cleaner” will pollute replacing them, then it was better for things to happen naturally from now. The new products but must evolve, but to force everyone to change is to encourage consumerism and damage the environment as most of the energy expended by a vehicle is in its production and not in use. Every industrial process involves losses, especially when it comes to recycling. Governments, service industry, are corrupting this notion, especially here in south america. Paint, woody (from the bus floor) and other things with exception of the alluminun,iron and plastics are lost. Then a longe lifetime is menos dangerous to enviromment than a 5-15 years of lifetime.
