"The number of birds, animals, marine and freshwater creatures in the world has dropped by almost one third, according to the WWF conservation organisation. It found that between 1970 and 2005 land-based species fell by 25 per cent, marine species by 28 per cent and freshwater species by 29 per cent."
That's a tragedy. It's got very little to do with CO2 though.Bored.Comment

I'd vote for that. Mind you it would cost me a fair bit.

Originally posted by dang65 View PostIt's plenty to do with damage to the environment though, isn't it? Tides of plastic swirling round the oceans and that sort of thing. Whatever, CO2 is just one part of the pollution we cause every day. This has been discussed loads of times on here already, but congestion, noise, litter, road damage, road building in the first place, smell, dirt... it all comes from cars and people, not from nature. Why shouldn't the people that do that damage bloody well pay for it?

Stop trying to hijack this thread. We were discussing global cooling and the science behind it.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Originally posted by The Lone Gunman View PostCar drivers already pay a disproportionate amount! I think 50 odd billion taken in tax and duty against 12 spent on roads. I would suggest drivers are paying more than enough for the damage they do.
Anyway, as any fule no, the roads are maintained from Council Taxes, which are also paid by people that don't even drive cars, so you're being heavily subsidised in fact. The Vehicle Excise Duty is just a little extra payment into the national pot to minisculely compensate for the noise, smell, congestion and obesity that cars cause.Comment
