The cars that ate Paris
The EC has threatened harsh penalties for car manufacturers who fail to reduce carbon emissions, according to this report.
“The warning came after new figures showed that CO2 emissions from new cars dropped by 12.4% between 1995 and 2004. But the industry had agreed to cut average CO2 emissions to 140g per km by 2008-09 - a fall of 25% on 1995 levels.”
