DRASTIC EMISSIONS ACTION REQUIRED

The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research says that successive UK governments have grossly underestimated carbon emissions with a 90% reduction required if catastrophe is to be avoided. Supposedly this target can be painlessly if not easily achieved:

It proposes radical ideas to effect change, predicting that most buildings will have to generate their own electricity, double-decker trains will transport people to work, and planes might not be allowed to take off unless they are nearly full.

Massive restructuring and government intervention will be required; it won't be painless.
