make of it what you will!

Barry Gardiner, the shadow Environment minister, said the party was trying to cut CO2 emissions when it introduced new vehicle tax rates in 2001.''
and here we are no CO2 for our beer etc..
climate change..must be over!

Encouraging motorists to trade in their petrol cars for diesel vehicles was one of the last Labour government’s biggest environmental mistakes.

Barry Gardiner, the shadow Environment minister, said the party was trying to cut CO2 emissions when it introduced new vehicle tax rates in 2001.

It meant that motorists switched to diesel vehicles and parts of the country saw a big increase in nitrogen dioxide and other harmful chemicals in the atmosphere.

Mr Gardiner said: “Hands up — there's absolutely no question that the decision we took was the wrong decision. But at that time we didn't have the evidence that subsequently we did have.”

Mr Gardiner told an episode of Channel Four’s Dispatches, entitled ‘The Great Car Con’: “We also [expected] cleaner diesel engines, which we thought meant that any potential problem was a lower-grade problem than the problem we were trying to solve of CO2.”

I stopped at ''Maggie Thatcher was at the height of her (remarkable) powers in 1989,..''
sorry to say her decline was well under way.. the height of her powers was after her third election victory in 87.. she was buckling under pressure from europhilic tory party..heseltine, clarke, lawson who resigned in 89 et al..
and her agreeing to this.. proof!

''Third, the strategy planned to rely on regulation and technology ‘silver bullets’ to reduce harmful emissions from diesel vehicles (page 147 of TCI) through European wide standards. The mechanism would be European engine emission standards for diesel passenger cars which subsequently required reductions in emissions of particulates in grams per kilometre (g/km) from Euro 1 (July 1992) of 0.14g/km to Euro 5 (September 2009) of 0.005 g/km and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) from Euro 3 (January 2000) of 0.5 g/km to Euro 6 (September 2014) of 0.08 g/km. As we know now, vehicle manufacturers have cheated on these standards, most famously as Volkswagen admitted in September 2015. A key lesson to learn is that future technologies should never be relied upon to solve today’s pressing problems or avoid applying the precautionary principle.''

but thanks for that it seems the eu have had their paws all over this from the get go!
corruption at the highest level..
how bizarre that the Green party should be such admirers of the eu!
you notice that the yanks got $5000 a piece compensation for purchasing diesels... but not eu citizens!!

'' The European commission was warned by its own experts that a car maker was suspected of cheating emissions tests five years before the VW emissions scandal.

A documents cache seen by the Guardian show that the commission’s in-house science service told it in 2010 that tests had uncovered what researchers suspected to be a “defeat device” that could cheat emissions tests.''

''European parliament draft inquiry into dieselgate has found EC ignored evidence of emissions test cheating The commission ignored evidence of emissions test cheating from its own science body, the Joint Research Centre (JRC), partly out of a desire to “avoid placing burdens on industry”, ''

As soon as government starts backing something it is a red flag... who can forget browns advocating diesel!

i do wonder if the final take over price will be 15.55 to 28p and the headlines will be ''windfall for investors in small British miner in Russia!''

There could be a lifting of some sanctions..
Trump could need Russia in attaining a successful outcome to Korea and a trade deal as he enters a trade war with the eu and others..

He has delivered a huge resource!

a classic example of breaking the old rule ''if it ain't broke don't fix it''
