The film ‘The Age of Stupid’ has been enjoying the patronage of Ed Miliband. Apart from the inconvenient fact that the government’s policies don’t square with the message of the film, this is a good thing.

But perhaps Ed Milliband could answer this question: ’since you are so aware of the drastic nature of the problem with climate change, why are you not telling it like it is?’

In other words, why is there no serious attempt to alert the public to the scale of the climate change problem?

This is dangerous because most people reason that, if there were a serious problem, the government would tell them about it. But since the government is silent (other than saying ‘please insulate your roof’) the problem can’t be all that bad…

Most people aren’t stupid. So, Ed Miliband, what about some leadership from the government?
