You've probably heard about The Government's latest plan to reduce carbon emissions?:
web page Worked out the proposed tax for our car. Typical family car, nothing special just an Astra 1.6 L, not a gas guzzler...£300!
Thought the £170 I've just had to pay was bad enough. Worked it out for the 1.8 L Vectra I used to own, would have been...£425!
And this is on top of paying the most expensive fuel prices I think in The World?! I also understand that if the UK theoretically managed not to produce any carbon emissions at all, it would only reduce The World's total emissions by I recall around 3% since we are after all said and done, quite a small country!
Interestingly, apparently The Earth's temperature hasn't risen since 2000 and begs the question is the Greenhouse Effect actually as bad as it was predicted or does it exist anyway? Scientists can't seem to be able to agree if it's man made or just natural cyclic variations anyway.
Must admit I'm sceptical, I do know a lot of interested parties stand to make a fortune in the guise of 'Going Green' though...
Maybe we should just all ride
But at the end of the day we still need our cars...
