Tim Beaumont, Lord Beaumont of Whitley (above) died on 8th April. I only met him a couple of times - I remember a very pleasant conversation with him about his Bill to prohibit piped music and the showing of television programmes in the public areas of hospitals - and to require the wearing of headphones by persons listening to music in the public areas of hospitals - a move to curb noise pollution that I fully support.
Green Party Principal Speakers Caroline Lucas MEP and Derek Wall paid tribute to his services to British politics and to the Green Party, calling him a "pioneering spirit" in green politics. More here. Sadly the Greens now have no peers in the House of Lords despite Blair claiming it is representative of the country - mind you if you believe Cameron on Thursday you only need to 'vote blue, go green.' See here Green party response re the local points he was making - in terms of the wider issues like Tory support for more road building, airports, economic growth etc - need we really say more??
Anyhow see here one of Lord Beaumont's speeches re embodied carbon.
