DESCRIPTION:Personal transport\, for business\, leisure\, or just the dema
 nds of everyday life\, represents a material part of the overall UK climat
 e problem.  Unlike other segments of our energy use\, it is dominated by a
  single fuel source\, oil.  Can we envision as scenario\, or more than one
  possible scenario\, where emissions from transport are reduced by 80% by 
 2050?  How much of this will come from mitigating the emissions by new tec
 hnologies or modal shifts\, and how much by adapting our personal lifestyl
 es to a carbon constrained world?  This talk will suggest policy approache
 s to the transport problem\, explore the role that technology can play\, a
 nd emphasise that unless we think systemically\, any actions we take have 
 just as big a chance of making the problem worse as they do of making it b
 etter.  \n\n\nDr Bernard J. Bulkin\n\nBernie Bulkin is a leading voice on
