Part of Paul’s motivation is his christian faith (see the aricle on the Guardian Cif Green website (25 August).

To ignore the evidence that our greenhouse gas emissions are affecting the climate of the planet in a way that will harm our neighbours would not be consistent with the command to love our neighbour.

We need to start by examining our own behaviour at the individual and church level but we need to move beyond that by calling for action at community, national and international levels.

I have been attempting to secure solar panels at The Deepings Church in South Lincs since the start of 2010. I have gone through the phases of informing our congregation, gaining permission to proceed, finding out about installers, getting quotations, selecting the best, trying to secure funding, finding out and applying for grants, gaining planning permission (in a conservation area) and wading through inappropriate forms, informing neighbours, updating the congregation and constantly having to chase people who are less enthusiastic. Applying for a National Lottery Community grant and for planning permission are minefields in themselves.

I have taken action in response to a letter from the Central Methodist Church (Dec. 2009) which stated that, “Over the course of the following year we will be preparing recommendations for the Conference and coordinating work to enable local churches to take action”. So where is it? What has been happening for the past nine months? Why don’t they just speak to Cheltenham and the others? Even I could now save people a lot of time! Time is of the essence. People need guidance, some finance, and less bureaucracy NOW.

Come on, National Churches, Conferences and District Councils, let’s have some real action!!

Where are the Fourier analyses of our supposedly climate changed times compared to those of a sample of twenty other equal duration periods?
Where are the results of feeding the data into market research trend analysis programs?
For that matter where is the data showing urbanisation figures for the areas around the temperature measuring stations and their distribution?
Climate science is about as accurate as social science if it is lucky and I am disappointed that the church I was associated with from childhood should become part of this criminal carelessness at best and fraud at worst.

As for illegally released I have no reason to believe it was not another bungle like the one that showed me how they hid flaws they knew about for certain. Climate scientists are not very good with computers surely is clear to everyone after Cimategate. To make the charge that it was illegally released rather than ineptly released without a shred of evidence shows how dishonest they really are. No trace of criminal activity was found in spite of large amouts of public money thrown at the supposed problem.

Surely faith should be reserved for a belief in God not in the, by their own admission in the Climategate review, sloppy or incompetent rather than dishonest, climate scientists.
Yes we should care for the environment but without the CO2 religion we could be harvesting the plastic soup in the ocean circulation centres. We could burn rubbish using plasma furnaces and then use the solid waste bricks produced to create dual basin tidal pools for clean energy. This current renewable energy project is not a no loss option it is the blind faith high cost and the people least able to afford it pay for it option.
