> Professor David King, former chief scientific advisor to the UK government, suggested a ban on petrol cars in 2002
from that article:
"Britain should follow the example of Lombardy, a heavily-industrialised region in northern Italy, which is to ban the sale of fossil-fuel powered cars from 1 January 2005"
Q: Did Lombardy really enact that ban in 2005? What happened as a result?
