Lets have a bit more thought before condemning some "unusual" suggestions about cutting carbon emissions.
Better home insulation? Well, it will reduce the amount of fuel used for heating.
Are SUV's a fashion item? Try looking at any car park and guessing which 4x4's are used by people who need them (they'll be the muddy ones)
Is all street lighting really necessary? Let's face it, it's hardly needed outside of built up areas-and does it need to be on ALL night?
This chap's ideas might seem a bit weird (or badly presented) and blocking a motorway is never going to get widespread support. But they do get people thinking.
And I, for one, would rather people thought about reducing home heating fuel usage, unnecessary street lighting and whether they really need a Merc SUV for the school run, than just say it's all the farmer's fault, so people should eat less meat and dairy and let's ban the use of soya meal while we're at it.
