Yes, a very good interview.

Q: "Are we doing enough to reduce emissions and prevent a disaster?"

A: "No, not at all."

Nice to see someone prepared to state their view in unambiguous terms.

Well she'll never get anywhere, Owen Paterson was on earlier supporting badger killing. He said the results didn't matter for the current exercise, it was just to find out what the best method of killing was.

Q What would indicate a sucessful exercise

A To have zero TB in cattle in 25 years time.

By then he will have them fed on GM feed, and they'll be dying of botulism instead.

I hope I am wrong, and Joanna gets somewhere.
