Commenting on Royal Society President Lord Rees' call for a new "Apollo project" to fight climate change, Greenpeace campaigner Robin Oakley said:
"Lord Rees is absolutely right to call for massive funding for clean energy research. The Apollo project cost $100bn to put a man on the moon, now we face a fight to save our only planet from the ravages of climate change. The technologies already exist to slash carbon emissions, what is lacking is the political will to implement them. If our leaders invested in low-carbon energy generation on a massive scale, right now, while generously funding research to develop the next generation of technologies, that would be a giant leap for mankind."
