Charge should inspire innovation

I think everyone has got caught up in the whole emissions / global warming thing. Look at the figures in depth. How much CO2 is actually contributed from the automotive sector as a whole? The answer is very small percentages and trying to reduce this by a small percent is also a waste of time. Had it not been for the EU and the green lobby we would probably have cars doing 80-100 mpg as standard now. All this emissions reduction just increases fuel consumption. Anyway, let's be real about the whole thing, the global warming debate has created a whole new industry. One last thing: global warming is due to the sun and not CO2. Global increases in CO2 lags temperature rises in the earth's atmosphere, not the other way round. Get the fact right, Ken and don't just go for what is politically correct.
