"Pay up...or the planet gets it"Attacking "global warming" means
attacking freedom
Somebody finally admitted it. Global warming
scare mongering is just government
extortion.
Mr Ainsworth said: “We want to know whether tax increases on activities which pollute will be offset by tax cuts on activities which don’t. Our aim is not to increase the tax burden on hard-working families.” And Prof Julian Morris, environmental economist at Buckingham University and director of the International Policy Network, said: “I’m afraid it will be Sun readers who will be most affected by these changes. “The price of their cheap flights will rise, making a short break abroad more costly. “The cost of visiting their family will rise, because of increased petrol duty. “And people will effectively be forced to buy energy-saving televisions and long-life lightbulbs by a nannying Government. Their whole way of life will alter forever.” The green proposals are revealed as leaked documents show people living in crime-free areas are to be penalised with a giant hike in council tax. It's all based on forecasts, computer models. What's more, the case for global warming depends on the assumption of an unchanging climate. We know that is not what happens. Global warming is just the justification for government control. It always has been. Before you think that is such a good idea, ask yourself why you thought President Bush was bad for the environment. Government control is "good" when the people you agree with are in charge. Otherwise that power will be turned against you. The only way to keep the "bad guys" from control is to make sure that government doesn't have the power in the first place.
