I think its great that they're creating a new goverment department. It is exactly what the government should be doing in times of recession - expanding goverment and increasing taxes. Well done Mr Brown.

So why do you become so bigoted when it comes to climate change?
Can't be bothered to explain the facts, the overwhelming evidence speaks for it’s self.
Hopefully a Guardian reader joining the forums will help to balance against all those Daily Mail readers.

Climate Change - Time to Pay
Buried in the small print of the cabinet re-shuffle:
".....and a new department spun off with responsibility for energy and climate change - to be headed by Ed Miliband, the former Cabinet Office minister and Brown ally. "
It's like a socialist gold mine, a whole new seam of tax opportunities to be mined.
Prepare for in short order:
Climate Tax - utility companies to pay tax at 10% of income.
Carbon Tax - carbon emitters, car companies, car users, airlines, air passengers, shipping, freight, etc., etc. to be billed on a usage basis (like car tax now but so much bigger).
Climate change off-set tax - Flat rate purchase tax to off-set carbon used in the production of goods.
You see my climate change alarmist friends this is what happens - look what you've done now. Fools.
