On the day that David Cameron has taken another step to clear the path for fracking in the UK, we're taking a look at a few ideas he could be throwing his weight behind instead.

Following the European elections felt a bit like checking the weather forecast constantly, hoping for beautiful sunshine instead of the guaranteed sleet and gale-force winds. Particularly in the last week before voting day - the polls were all a little on the purple side (although it must be said that the Greens were polling better than they ever have done before).

Then the results came in, and they’re pretty bad. 

The front page of the Times today spashes on a terrible conspiracy to suppress ground-breaking new climate science which could overturn the alleged ‘consensus’ on climate sensitivity and expose highly suspicious inconsistencies in the work of the IPCC.
