AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights a significant shift in Britain's climate policy under Tony Blair, moving away from mandatory greenhouse gas emission targets central to the Kyoto agreement. This change opens the possibility for other nations to follow suit, potentially undermining international climate commitments. The conversation touches on the perception that this shift is not driven by economic concerns but rather by questioning the validity of climate science. Additionally, there are mentions of Canada receiving incentives to reconsider its stance on Kyoto, indicating a broader trend of nations reevaluating their climate strategies. The tone suggests a sense of urgency and concern regarding the implications of these policy changes.

This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam.
