Get out of the 80s!

Scotland has a world-leading climate law that commits us to annual reductions in greenhouse gas emissons.

But some business and political leaders are threatening to undermine it with polluting investments.

Stephen Hester - The Royal Bank of Scotland

He's the chairman of the Royal Bank of Scotland, the UK bank that provides the most loans to companies operating in the tar sands. Learn more and write to him.

Calum Wilson - Forth Energy

Head of Forth Energy, the company proposing to build four large biomass power stations in Scottish ports. We think the project would put unacceptable pressure on the world's forests. Learn more.

Muir Miller - Ayrshire Power

His company plans to build a new coal power plant in North Ayrshire. It's unecessary and would pump an unacceptable amount of green house gases into the atmosphere. Learn more.

When the Scottish Climate Law was passed, the Government made a plan of how to make the appropriate reductions in green house gases. The plan said we need to invest a lot of money in low carbon transport.

But the Scottish Government's draft budget and spending review for the next three years has far more money for motorways than it does for its own low carbon transport plans.

Some ministers must be stuck in the 80s, when people didn't really believe in climate change and thought they could rely on cheap petrol forever.

We need to tell the government to get with the times. Stop pouring so much money into roads. Put it into public transport, and help people cycle and walk more easily and safely.
