LETTER: Misguided politicians have led to job losses

Regardless of your opinion on global warming, there is no doubt the UK’s output of CO2 is insignificant compared to that of the USA, China or India, and whatever we do will make no measurable difference whatsoever to the problem.

The EU system of carbon trading credits is nothing more than a scam legalised by Brussels. The futility of all this will not be lost on the 30 Ribblesdale Cement employees who are losing their jobs and livelihoods through the (possibly) well-meaning but misguided actions of our politicians and bureaucrats.

BILL HONEYWELL,

West Bradford
