Autocar has been running articles containing much borrocks about CO2 and cars.

Now's your chance to tell them what you think...

Tally Ho...

Do you think cars have a future? Have your say at Autocar.co.uk
The link between cars and climate change continues to be one of the
hottest topics on today's news agenda. It's also been the subject of
a series of illuminating articles appearing in Autocar magazine over
the last few weeks, written by leading car and carbon emissions
expert Richard Parry-Jones. And now's your chance to get involved in
the debate.

With its `A Future with Cars' series drawing to a close, Autocar
wants as many drivers as possible to be part of the grand finale. In
collaboration with Richard Parry-Jones, it has drawn up a short
questionnaire www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/Honda-
Concepts/235943 to find out what motorists really think about cars,
climate change and carbon emissions. It takes less than five minutes
to complete, and the results will be published in Autocar on November
26th.

"Cars are part of the climate change problem, so they must also be
part of the solution," said Richard Parry-Jones. "That challenge is
both enormous and exciting.

"For every passenger kilometre travelled in an average car in the UK
today, about 130g/km is emitted, compared with about 100g/km for an
average bus and 80g/km for an average train.

"If motoring is to be made sustainable, the figure for cars must be
cut to about 40g/km, but we will have the technology to achieve that
by 2050. Other industries also need to be made as proactive as the
motor industry in helping to solve this problem."

Richard Parry-Jones is currently a government advisor about cars,
emissions and global warming.

Filled in, although for one of the questions I could have done with a none of the above answer!

interesting, but massively missing the point....

CO2 is NOT the biggest issue with greenhouse gases but some way.... it's just the easiest to TAX people on via guilt tripping...
