Scrap your cars, say MPs!

Parliament has declared a climate emergency and, just before she left office, Theresa May signed the net-zero carbon emission by 2050 law into force - and now comes the fall-out from the policy makers.

This law means that whatever we do in this country after 2050 must not increase the amount of carbon in the atmosphere by one drop more.

And in a high energy consumption society such as ours, that will take some doing.

It will actually mean a massive decrease in demand for energy for everything from keeping warm in winter to keeping cool in summer and crucially the transportation of goods and people - something that any advanced civilisation needs.

In response to this, the Commons Select Committee of MPs on Science and Technology has just issued a report and, as far as I can see, this report dooms our whole way of life - that will of course be welcome news to the ardent eco-warriors, but may not be as welcomed by the rest of us.

And one of their targets is of course the reduction of emissions from vehicles.

With the eye-opener being the statement:

"Although ultra-low emissions vehicles generate very little emissions during use, their manufacture generates substantial emissions. In the long-term, widespread personal vehicle ownership therefore does not appear to be compatible with significant decarbonisation. The Government should not aim to achieve emissions reductions simply by rep..
