was it only me that witnessed the blowing up of a silver miggy estate this morning on BBC breakfast?? :'( :'( it was an article about yet another carbon offset brainwashing attempt about some bloke & his mrs selling their car & using public transport etc, i think there is going to be a programme about their futile attempts to make people feel guilty about living >:( but dont know if the blowing up is the programme intro or not, so to anybody thats got sky+ have a look & weep!!, might even be on the BBC website :-/

I dont know how they can justify this when it takes more energy to build a car than it will realistically use in its lifetime. At least recycle the bloody thing >:(
-
I saw it >:( >:(
Complain!!!!

Its crazy....
If I ahvea car that is currently doing 38mpg....it cant be emmitting that much (the CO output is directly proportional to teh fuel consumption) and is probably outputing less than a new car being driven in the urban areas!
-
when my brother was alive he enquired why his landrover td5 tax was so high as it was diesel & more economical than his old suzi jeep that was petrol, the reply he got was that it was due to the fact that it MAY give off other harmful gasses![but they couldnt say what of course], my brothers response was "like pigs MAY fly you mean!" >:(

doesn't matter, its a gaz guzzler. Even if it did 10000mpg, its not electric, so the BBC will be anti it.

I do like them playing up 'plane free holidays'
They do know that the new Airbus A380 800 the worlds largest passenger jet, uses less fuel per passenger than a Ford Focus :y
