Description
The 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen presents a new focus for international debate and decisions about energy and its use. What are the countries of Western Europe and Scandinavia doing to promote sustainable energy production? Just how different will the future energy map of Europe look? And is energy policy principally a scientific issue or a political one? This album contains a series of films exploring energy policy in various countries around Europe in 2006, framed by audio pieces recorded by Open University academic Godfrey Boyle in the run up to the Copenhagen Conference. He highlights the central issues that the conference aims to address, and gives an update on how European energy policies have changed since the films were made. This material forms part of the Open University course T206 Energy for a sustainable future.

Global Warming-The Big Lie
For decades our Government has spent hundreds of billions of $$$ on a unfounded, untrue fat out Lies. This EPA backed climate change B/S has cost this country millions of Jobs and a many, many factories to other countries. (thank you corrupt politicians for selling out or country to foreign countries). I do believe the climate does change and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Think about it, Oil is a fossil fuel and there is allot of it in northern states especially states like Alaska. Why is this a fact, could it be that at one time the north went through a warm spell. The next President must rein in the EPA, Department Of Energy, Eliminate the Federal Department of Education. Make English the official language
