Tim Yeo Enters Eco-Hypocrite Sweepstakes

Posted by Dave Blount at March 26, 2007 9:17 PM

Remember Tim Yeo, the British MP who wants to abolish domestic air travel for all but the ultrarich to save us from global warming? He's in the news again:

Tory MP Tim Yeo has surely been the victim of a cruel practical joke. Yeo, a former environment minister, is well known for his campaign against climate change. He wants domestic flights to be scrapped and his website boasts of his commitment to the planet. Yet what do we find in the latest Bentley magazine? Somebody calling themselves Tim Yeo, MP for South Suffolk, has been test driving the Bentley Continental Flying Spur. He sinks into the warm embrace of its leather seats and takes it on a golfing jolly. The Bentley does about 16mpg and has carbon emissions that rival those of a jumbo jet. Surely the real Tim Yeo would have mentioned this?
