Labour MP Colin Challen has launched the parliamentary motion, which points to a “climate emergency”. He said: “The catastrophic destabilisation of global climate represents the greatest threat that humanity faces.”
The immediate action he says is needed includes redirecting money aimed at boosting the economy to “green measures”, and assigning at least two hours of prime-time television per week to “explain the gravity of the crisis to the public”.
He also said “domestic flights should be phased out by the end of 2010″ while a “speed limit of 55 miles per hour should be introduced”.

But, planes can’t fly at 55!! Expect all aircraft to fall out of the sky and drivers to crash off the road because they’re terminally bored and fall asleep, or can distract themselves with other things proving inattention is by far the greatest killer – not speed.
Save fuel – stop politicians travelling to junkets, meetings, holidays.. by air,car and boat. Make them pay. Confiscate their gold cards!
Obviously, you’ve never flown a Piper Cub; in fact, you’d be lucky to go that fast. š
Funny… If you ask the average leftie slob a question about who wants to excersize control over your life their response would be unanimously the “right wing”.
2010?? The man can’t even count, or is this an old report? Whichever, the man is still mad as a hatter. Does he really think that cutting down the UK’s 3% of man’s global 3% of the atmospheric level of 0.039% of CO2 in the atmosphere is going to make the slightest bit of difference, i.e. a fraction of 0.000035%
How the **** did he ever get elected?
People get the politicians they deserve. Those who want to steal funds from the ex-checquer elect those experienced in theft and guile who will do so.
