Meet the Flintstones driving climate change

Video | May 26, 2008

Greenpeace activists travelled in a Flintstones-style car from the headquarters of ACEA, the European car industry's lobby group, to the European Parliament, to deliver a stone tablet bearing the logos of Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes and the message "Driving Climate Change".

The 'Stone Age' procession is a reminder that the car industry is still trapped in the 'dinosaur dynamic' of building ever-faster and increasingly powerful gas-guzzlers at the expense of the climate. The primitive parade also marks the launch today of a new Greenpeace report, 'Driving Climate Change : How the car industry is lobbying to undermine fuel efficiency legislation'.
