But, as we manage this transition to a low-carbon economy, we must also do more to help the oil market operate more efficiently. Globally, producers and consumers share common interests in market stability. So instead of Opec going its own way, there should be an enhanced dialogue between producers and consumers about the advance of nuclear, coal and renewables and about greater energy efficiency - as well as about future oil reserves. guardian
Fatuous twaddle and, if you follow the link, lots more where that comes from.
Brown is not an idiot; he must know that “enhanced dialogue” between producers and consumers will result in nothing.
The basis of dialogue is power and until the West weans itself from oil - which is going to take a while - the reality is that money talks and bullshit walks. Jumpers all round in the increasingly colder England.

Any Canadian citizen can file a complaint with the Commission. We do not have discretion to turn people away.
Once a complaint is filed with the Commission, we have a responsibility to process it fairly and in accordance with established procedures. In most cases, this involves conducting an investigation. Only then can Commissioners decide whether there is enough evidence to warrant further inquiry or whether the complaint should be dismissed. ian fine
This would explain why my complaints re anti-antisemitism in Le Devoir (April 17), anti-Sihkism at the the CBC (April 18), and Islamic Holocaust Denier site Islamunity.com (April 22) have not even been acknowledged by Mr. Fine’s Commission.
I cannot imagine that “established procedures” include not bothering to acknowledge receipt of complaints filed by Canadian Citizens.
But, hey, I would not have believed they included posting hate messages under web aliases or wardriving peoples WiFi or lying under oath…but apparently they do.
