A guest blog from Ben Amunwa, campaigner with oil industry watchdog Platform

This time last year I was standing in a vast pool of oily water. It used to be a fish pond for local villagers, but now everywhere was coated with oil and the stench of petroleum was overpowering. A light rain was falling.

Commenting on reports in The Independent newspaper (1) that the government will announce that the speed limit will be raised to 80mph, Greenpeace's senior transport campaigner Emma Gibson said:

"The Saudi oil Minister will rub his hands with glee when he learns of Philip Hammond's decision. At a time when North Sea oil production is going down and we are ever more reliant upon unstable regimes and fragile environments to fuel our cars, the Transport Secretary's decision will raise oil consumption and carbon emissions when we need to cut both."
