UK committee says fuel prices must stay high to force drivers into efficient cars — Autoblog Green

We all love to see high fuel prices, right? Well, some of us might, but the majority of us would rather not pay through the roof for a gallon of gas. There's definitely a consensus that high gas prices are good for the environment in many ways, but few of us are willing to foot the bill to help out Mother Nature's cause.

But what if you had no choice on the matter and the government imposed some sort of system to ensure that gas prices remain high forever? You'd probably buy a more fuel-efficient vehicle or something of the electric-powered variety, right? Well, that's exactly the thought process behind the suggestions put forth by the UK's Committee on Climate Change.

EU Referendum: Amazongate: the smoking gun

More than five months after the IPCC was accused of making assertions on the fate of the Amazon forest on the basis of a non-peer reviewed WWF report, it now appears that the original source of the IPPC's claim is a Brazilian educational website which was taken down in 2003...

Furthermore, it appears that this is the only source of the IPCC's claim that made up the basis of "Amazongate" – that the IPCC was, once again, using unsubstantiated material which exaggerated the threat. This website, therefore, is the "smoking gun", the latest evidence to suggest that the IPCC is breaking its own rules.
