The real world operates on the basis of the individual doing what pleases
him/her. This is why building and planning regulations(& speed limits) are
regularly ignored world wide. If the individual is rich/idealistic enough to
heat his/her patio/conservatory, that is their decision and is nothing to do
with any other person.

Except where it impacts on others.


All this crap about global warming ignores the fact that mankind has
a built in self limiting trait, whereby the weakest go to the wall, the
population drops and the most resourceful survive.

It has nothing to do with being resourceful, unless you mean some
resourceful person putting an ice pick through your cranium because you
have what they want.

We live in a society, which comes with responsibilities


There is almost no justification for conservation in either
economic or environmental terms, it is todays PC good idea. If you disagree,
I suggest you go and research it.
The only real benefit of the currently
fashionable organic food movement is that it provides employment in the
farming industry, but that is another example of the buyers spending their
income as they please. The pollution caused by growing and delivering it
destroys any environmental benefit the product may well have.

What - compared with the phosphates and other chemicals leeching into
water courses?

The advantage
of global warming may be that the UK has a warmer climate, but on past
history, it will last for less than a century.

Not if the gulf stream switches off, which is what is slowly happening
at the moment
