The London Times conducted a broad poll. In it was an interesting question:
The government is imposing ‘green taxes’ as an excuse to raise money rather than to help save the environment
The answer was quite telling:

As an ex Pat I am heartened that the folks in the Old Country have woken up to the scam that is global warming. They know that the taxes and restrictions have a lot more to do with Social Engineering and Control than saving anything.
Now that the AGW panic is finally starting to come to an end I am looking forward to the day when we ask the moaning minnies for the AGW Brigade to leave our collective houses and to watch that the frontdoor doesn’t hit them on the backside on the way out.
Attached piece from the Daily Telegraph on the next crisis, the burgeoning middle class. It used to be, and in my mind still is, a good thing that people got on in life and lifted themselves out of poverty. Now it’s going to be a problem or so some say.

Firstly, lets stop the personal attacks in all forms it sereves no purpose whatsoever but to put peoples backs up. I’m a Brit & a Christian (most of the time) & I don’t take offence easily fellas!
Most Brits are confused over it all. We’re greened out over here or at least I am. Some say it is some say it isn’t. The NIPCC is the source to look at as they seem to be the only organisation taking a “professional scientific” viewpoint, a calm, cool, considered look at the science without the political intrigue from bureaucratic interfering &/or environmental well intentioned but totally misguided meddling. The IPCC is a politcal construct, the NIPCC is not.
And as for taxes, when all the politicians & government scientists & bureaucrats stop flying thousands of miles around the world to exotic places to talk about reducing “carbon footprints” & CO2 emissions, then the world can take AGW seriously. Yes the British Govt is raising money for moneys sake, with little effort to reduce emissions when we all get £1.00 per household to solve the problem! I have a problem with anyone who shouts too loud about a particular subject, in this case CO2 emissions.
