COMMUNICATING THE NEED

摘要

Yet again we are seeing a UK mega-project [Lower Thames Crossing] being pilloried, this time for the apparently enormous amount of embodied CO_2 that will result from its construction. This is, of course, a nonsensical argument when you compare the figure (whatever it is) with the operational CO_2 savings resulting from shorter vehicle journeys, and reduced congestion.Or is it? The point I make is that those calculations appear not to have been done or, worse, if they have been done, they have not been disseminated to the right people.
