Despite what the media and the government say, global warming is not something that's fully understood and proven by science to be the fault of people.
As time goes on, more and more scientists are coming out and saying the facts actually prove that global warming is not a result of human activity, but is a normal earth cycle and a result of solar activity.
Even if the slight planet warming was a result of increased carbon output, people would only be responsible for a tiny amount. The sea creates 95% of Co2 and animals create most of the remaining 5%.
Despite what we're told, paying 'green taxes' to a government does nothing more than cost money and con a gullible public.

Seems like typical government modus opperandi to me. Create a scare story to get public backing for leglislation they would normally run a mile from.
Its plain old scare tactics. Local authorites do it every year. Publish outragous hikes in council tax bills, only for the tax to be set at the lower figure with greatful citizens breathing a sigh of relief, for a rise well above inflation. They're playing us!

" We've got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing -- in terms of economic socialism and environmental policy."
- Timothy Wirth, former U.S. Senator (D-Colorado)
You will never hear that in the media.
