Just Chris Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Scandalous. Taxing people on the very element from which they are made, and without which we'd all be dead. Unfortunately the French at the moment subscribe to the current erroneous Euro-belief that human-produced atmospheric carbon is wildly increasing, and we're all going to cook. Neither of which is true.Over sixty scientists have recently petitioned Angela Merkel, begging her to listen to reason and common sense and desist from subscribing to the current AGW religion, and associated money-spinning pointless carbon trading.The earth is not warming, it's in stasis and will probably cool, which really won't be very comfortable for anyone. Carbon is good, warm is good. This nonsense is going to scupper the economy of many countries, and we need all the natural resources we can lay hands on. It'll be too late when we're all freezing with a reduced power-generating infrastructure of worth (other than nuclear) if the alarmists have their way.Taxing people isn't going to stop the change in the planet's climate one jot.

parsnips Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hear,Hear,I 'm just not sure whether our politicians are so stupid that they are accepting all this "Man-made warming" conjecture as gospel truth, or, in my opinion, more likely, they are using it as the latest of their bogeymen ( herpes ,bird flu, swine flu, heterosexual AIDS etc.) with which they keep us all reliant on them to "save" us, with the added bonus that they can use it as an excuse to impose new and imaginative taxes, and interfere more and more in our private affairs.
