Politicians with two-faced “environmentally friendly” paperwork, as well as the actual climate deniers, are exacerbating the dangers caused by decades of rapidly-mounting fossil fuel use and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions. – This report is published by the Transport Action Network, Stop the Silvertown Tunnel Coalition, Speak Out Woolwich and Extinction Rebellion Greenwich– The report was drafted by Simon Pirani, author of Burning Up: A Global History of Fossil Fuel Consumption (2018) and Senior Research Fellow, Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. The Stop Silvertown Tunnel Coalition, which has opposed the tunnel on environmental grounds, has also threatened to take the mayor's office to court for pushing ahead with the project. Against this it sets the “induced traffic” concept – simply, that more roads produce more traffic – developed by transport researchers over several decades. The latest edition of Resurgence & Ecologist is out now, and available to buy from the Resurgence Trust website. Supporters say a Silvertown Tunnel would bring economic benefits – but creating traffic jams does not create jobs. A £1 billion PFI contract to build a controversial new road tunnel under the Thames, to ease some of London’s worst-congested roads, was signed today.

The Silvertown tunnel, London’s largest infrastructure project, is incompatible with preventing dangerous climate change, a report released today shows. The website is owned and published by The Resurgence Trust, an educational charity. She was not interested. With extra congestion comes extra pollution. Instead of following the route of the existing two Blackwall Tunnels, the four-lane tunnel would leave the A102 just north of the Blackwall Lane/ Tunnel Avenue junction, pass under the Thames Cable Car and emerge north of the river at Tidal Basin Roundabout. After months of lobbying, Alexander grudgingly agreed to spend 45 minutes meeting a delegation from the Stop the Silvertown Tunnel coalition.
