This country seems to follow the "punish" rather than "reward" scheme of things, i.e. we'll tax and penalise rather than encourage, and if we make some money on the side, even better.

In my opinion, its probably a bit of both sides that are correct, the world IS naturally getting warmer, and what WE do has an effect. I just think the green brigade have better marketing, e.g. when did "global warming" become "climate change"? Did that word exist before some marketing executive invented it?

Rant over, we can all do our bit to save the planet, but would companies stop profiteering over it!!!

What you (we) are fed up with is actually not environmentalism, it's just plain greed
