Chief scientist in sports cars warning to women
Sir David, who is due to retire as the UK's Chief Scientific Adviser at the end of the year, said individuals needed to change their behaviour.
"I was asked at a lecture by a young woman about what she could do and I told her to stop admiring young men in Ferraris," he said.
"What I was saying is that you have got to admire people who are conserving energy and not those wilfully using it."
How much do you want to bet he drives a Prius?
Fausta links to this story, saying:
The chief scientist might also want to warn men who like women in fast cars, too, lest he be accused of sexism. But, after all, if the chief scientist is a purist..
Like most purists, he's narrow-minded and thus uninformed. The Tesla roadster is 100% electric, and it goes from 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds.
There's also this Jetsons-style Aptera car.
I think I'll make another offer to test drive.
