News Agenda: Climate Change and Gov Profiles

news agenda: One of the most environmentally friendly alternatives to the traditional internal combustion engine is the electric car, which create less greenhouse gas and other emissions, according to The Independent. It seems the British public approves, at least in principle, with the research finding that 69 per cent agree that electric cars are the future of the motor industry. According to research commissioned by MPA, a technology innovation firm, almost two-thirds 65 per cent of people agreed that we should drive less to save the environment. The polling was conducted by You Gov Profiles. With climate change on the news agenda, albeit less prominently than expected in the recent general election, more consumers than ever are starting to consider making a conscious effort to reduce their carbon footprint. Transport accounts for almost a third 30 per cent of the world's total energy use and around a quarter of the global energy-related carbon dioxide CO2 emissions. (news.financializer.com).
