There are easy answers to our present predicament of carbon production and global warming.
We could (should?) reduce motorway speed limits to 60mph, and other out of town roads to 50mph.
And drastically reduce air flights, less passengers, less freight, and lower speeds.
Various things can be done to make buying and selling houses easier. Persuade people to live near work and commute by walking.
Make clothes expensive so people wear them out rather than throwing them away.
Make all transport of goods expensive -- why do I buy beer in Lidl that was brewed and bottled in Kent?
Abolish road tax and triple the duty on petrol.
If global warming is real, we have to be drastic.
And still enjoy the occasional drive in an old car!
