    Good news on the CO2 front!

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/...motorways.html

    Average speed cameras could be installed on all the country's motorways to cut carbon emissions under proposals drawn up by the Government's environmental advisers.


    Next step will be reduction of speed limit to 50 mph, mark my words.

    Gotta love Gordon. Kerchinnggg!

      Went into London on the M1 on friday, there was a big sign before j2 telling me I was entering an ECO ZONE

      presumably warning me to turn off if I was a smokey bugger

        When you enter Manchester there is a big sign saying that it is a nuclear free city.

          And all because Ficko Gordo hasn't the balls (or brains) to raise income tax.

                Hmmm


                The UK government should attack climate change as if it were a war, according to a new report from the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).
                The professional body has today called for the government to deploy a swift offensive on climate change with an arsenal of new engineering projects aimed at generating cleaner energy, capturing and sequestering carbon-dioxide emissions and controlling the effects of environmental disasters on communities.


                Nothing self serving in that report then!

                  nope not self serving .....worse, it's completely idiotic. Generally self-serving objectives have an economic benefit.
