Climate

Pollution knows no boundaries, say the Greens (BBC news) - Britain should cut its carbon dioxide emissions by 90% over the next 50 years as part of a Europe-wide blitz on greenhouse gases, say the Green Party.

Greens show the way forward on fuel prices - "Fuel prices don't reflect the huge hidden costs of road transport - its contribution to climate change, pollution-related ill-health and so on, as well as the costs of roadbuilding and accidents. Fuel taxes fall very far short of paying all those costs, which are estimated at well over £40 billion every year."
