Dear UK Labour, if you don't help world poor by tackling pollution & climate, & further help poor of UK with services paid for by taxing rich, what is the point of you? I know you can do better.

This would be a nice introduction for a physics class. The discovery of infrared and ultraviolet light. youtu.be/TRHFIQcY7HY?...
