Hopefully in about 5 years time the Green Brainwashing Machine will have disappeared and we can talk about something interesting.
It really does drive me absolutely potty
Lightbulbs that just about outblast a candle.
1.2 litre blue/red/greenmotion cars that couldn't pull the skin of custard
Unemployed and students crying and beating themselves with their banners when someone mentions 'coal'
Budget speeches talking about banning plastic bags
Celebrities driving Toyota Prius things
People inventing spactastic phrases like 'carbon footprint'
Real men converting their 4x4 to LPG
Patio Heaters coming underfire from the Green Police
(Maybe I am actually living in a dream like that other thread)

Individual swipe card that you sue every time you buy petrol/airline ticket/fuel bills and so on.
Thing is, you have to accept that green taxes are here to stay. The question is, how do you want to see them implemented, not whether you want to see them implemented at all.

One of my basic points was that I personally don't think that carbon emissions are actually causing GBW or the present fashionable term "Climate Change" I think there are signs that our climate is returning to what it was some years ago and that the whole thing is cyclical.
Do you think that Green taxes will be acceptable or even plausible if the global temperature continues as it is or even decreases further as it did last year?
