Australia Has No Plan at All Reduce Transport Emission
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has published a report demonstrating that global warming will have a greater impact on the planet than many had predicted – and worldwide action will need to be taken almost immediately to fend off the worst of it.
I was talking to a motoring journalist who had just been to the Paris Motor Show and he said that in terms of reducing pollution they were so committed and it was such an issue with representatives from other countries that it made Australia look like it was on another planet (pardon the pun).
I think it is about time that there is enough evidence that we must get on and do something quickly. If you do not think this is the case for global warming then it is still the case for local pollution.
Furthermore, there is a huge amount of research by business to develop new technology which will create jobs and economic activity. We could miss the boat. I understand, for example, that the Dyson company has decided to build autonomous vehicles in Singapore.
And finally, if you have no belief in the need for action on the climate, what ever happened to the debate on peak oil?
