Carbon? Car Ban? Craziness!
September 13, 2007Some may wonder why there is such hesitance among the population of Western countries to believe that global climate change is in fact a result of man-made carbon dioxide emissions. The current scientific evidence certainly points in that direction, why would people question it?
Well, I think it may be that suggestions like the entirety of London, England should enact a complete ban on personal car use are part of the reason. According to the authors of a report appearing in The Lancet, going car free is the only way London can hope of achieving the targeted reductions in carbon dioxide by 2030.
So, London, England, you want to reduce your CO2 emissions by 72%? Stop driving, completely. It’s a very creative solution indeed. So much for necessity is the mother of invention.
