Global warming FFS - in the last 13 years of being in the UK I have never ever had such a cold winter - fooking pay-as-you-go electric meter in all-electric flat does not help either.

It's just that, with iceburgs the size of Wales breaking off like in Al Gore's video, and arctic ice melting so that submarines can surface at the north pole, I'd have thought seas would have risen by now.

Cancun climate change conference: Britain is urged to impose £15 billion in green taxes
British taxpayers could pay an extra £600 per year in green taxes to help poor countries cope with the floods and droughts caused by climate change, Lord Stern has suggested.
Lord Stern said an extra £15 billion could be raised in taxes on polluting industry and power from coal, gas and petrol. Although the levies will be directly on factories or power stations, eventually it will come down to the consumers.
If every householder was to pay the same amount it would cost £600, although ultimately it is likely to be unevenly distributed as households with more cars or high energy use will pay more.
“People would see these tax rises through electricity, through cars,” said Lord Stern.

Lets tax central heating systems, I'd like to see people pay £1000 every time they put the heating on.Tags: None
