Greenpeace response

29 April, 2014

In response to the goverment announcing a £500 million funding package to support Ultra Low Emission Vehicles, Dr Doug Parr, Chief Scientist at Greenpeace UK, said :

 

"As the first oil arrives from the fragile Arctic, there has never been a better time to push our vehicles towards going low carbon. Not only does this investment boost Britain’s clean tech sector and maintain our leading position in an expanding global market, but in the long run it will help us stop poisoning our cities and trashing the environment for oil."

Osborne feeling slightly overwhelmed

This week, the Office of National Statistics will tell us if Britain has slipped into a triple dip recession, and if the news is grim we may be treated to the sight of George Osborne – the most stridently anti-environment chancellor for a generation – blaming it all on climate change.
