In a speech that was described by one delegate as an oratory work of art the Bishop of Liverpool closed the Environment Agency’s annual conference in London.

 

In his twenty five minute speech he covers everything from being a hypocrite himself for travelling on low budget airlines to carbon emissions and dramatic changes in weather patterns in developing countries.

 

In describing the failure of countries to enagage with climate change The Right Reverend James Jones says:

“Future historians will ponder long and hard why on my why the north atlantic nations fell so easily on their swords and pressed the self-destruct button."
