Telegraph | News | Cameron pledges to cut car emissions

Well, it's nice to see such a bloo-paper go a bit green. The Telegraph cleared up the debacle over David Cameron's journey to work. Well, in his defence, you can't really deny that the kind of papers he carries are not something you want nicked when you're lying unconscious on the pavement after being knocked off your bike by some prick in a Lexus. Plus, the box used to carry his ministerial papers is said to be lead-lined. That kinda beats my lever-arch file. Full article...

Of course, being the Telegraph, they did have to go and spoil an otherwise fairly balanced story by ending on a negative. Apparently 40 scientists are saying that the rest of the ever-growing global consensus (scientific, political, cultural, religious, etc.) have got it wrong and global warming is just a natural phenomenon. Yes it is natural, but I'm pretty sure it's a reaction that is proportional to our emissions. Just because it's a natural phenomena, doesn't make it OK. Nature can be nasty!

I came across this site where you can quickly find out your car's Co2 levels. It's by Dave's crew... although you have (to look hard to realise it) and is actually pretty well-designed, straightforward to the point and downright jolly.

Dave says: "I hope that people will use this website to help them choose a greener car that will suit their lifestyle."
