A sporting chance "Adapt
or perish, now as HG Wells

Sport has been cited as a major contributory factor in global warming. This is what planet pundit George Monbiot says: "Some sports are simply incompatible with any likely solution to the problem. The most obvious example is motor racing… Even sports such as football and athletics that are inherently harmless cause major environmental effects, thanks to the transport of spectators… Perhaps we should recognise that some sports are simply too wasteful to be sustained." Experts are calling for a 90 per cent cut in carbon emissions from every economic sector, including sport, by 2030. Carbon Zero Sport has been established with the specific aim of assisting the UK sporting industry to change and adapt with a view to meeting the goals being set. |
