What we learned this week

  • The UK and US scrappage schemes have seen people trading in SUVs for smaller cars, leading to a 25% reduction in emissions in the UK, and considerably more in the States. Good news, but each tonne of carbon saved this way costs $500. Each tonne saved by driving less costs nothing at all.
  • Formula 1 is one of the most expensive and wasteful sports on the planet. Should we support Formula 0 instead?
