Energy & Net Zero
Have yourself a very merry green Christmas
Christmas after Christmas, I would wander the campus of my university, grumbling, I was a sustainability scrooge, bah humbugging as I saw the overflowing waste bins and the lights burning in empty buildings.
When I complained about it, my ever patient wife would say it’s only once a year, which was true enough, but still I found myself wondering what it was about this season. Why had people forgotten all the lessons they’d learned about sustainability?
No more smoke and mirrors over air pollution
The High Court has been in the news a lot recently. Shortly before three of its judges were plastered across the front pages of the tabloids for their Article 50 decision, another judgment was handed down which received widespread media attention.
Mr Justice Garnham ruled that the government’s plans to tackle illegal levels of air pollution in the UK failed to comply with a previous Supreme Court ruling on the issue or the relevant EU Directive. He said that the government had ‘erred in law’ by fixing the projected dates it would comply with legal limits for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) based on over optimistic modelling of pollution levels.
