Thanks to a UK reader for sharing this. Last month Metro newspaper (a free UK commuter daily) took thermal-imaging photos of the four major political parties’ headquarters buildings. The sophisticated snaps show how much heat energy is radiating from the buildings. More heat loss means a less-efficient (and therefore not-so-carbon-neutral) building.
Guess who came in dead last? Yep. The Green Party (photo above). Labour also had lousy insulation. The Tories and Liberal Democrats fared better.
Will Green Party Principal Speaker Derek Wall move his office to a hermetically sealed, Earth-mother-friendly, solar-powered, recyclable building made only of locally grown materials? Uh, no. That would be intellectually consistent, and we can’t have that in politics.
from Left to Right: Lib Dem, Labour, Conservative
Update, for those who asked: Red and orange colors indicate heat loss. And yes, that’s a double-decker bus radiating heat in front of Tory central.
