I have a massive problem with climate change too...
... no, not that I'm in denial, but that I do not trust our current crop of politicians - who happen to be facing a record budget defecit - to deal with the issue.

I have a huge problem with environmental taxes and the double standards being operated by the government; namely that while car useage needs to fall (in the name of emissions), they've no problem with building more airport runways.

We could reduce car emissions at a stroke by banning the import of any vehicle emitting more than 120g/km from the 1st April. Instead, we're getting a policy which will punitively tax cars made up to eight years previously, hitting the very people who can ill afford to finance a newer, cleaner car.

As far as I'm concerned, from a PR perspective Green Taxes are the worst thing to happen to the green movement in decades.

*edit* While I'm at it, fares for public transport continue to escalate at a higher rate than inflation. The "comprehensive, efficient and cost effective" public transport system promised to us by Prescott in 1998 is nothing of the sort unless you live in central London.
