Their fraud is exposed when the 'pips start to squeak' and they back off to maintain their revenue - as with fuel duty - if the aim were to save the world, they would rejoice that people were being forced to give up driving, but that's not actually what they want, they just want to tax us more for the privilege.
Indeed. If it were really about saving the whole world, we'd have armies sitting in South America and Indonesia/Burma/Madagascar etc protecting the trees from deforestation.... Not in Iraq/Afghanistan protecting oil..Who are 'they'?
The gubbermunt, the greenies, the eco-loons, the EU, the bankers, the glitterati?
Pretty much all of the above I guess (and more).
Perhaps 'climate wang' is perceived as being a less painful mechanism to raise funds (after all, who would not want to part with dosh to save the planet?)
And funds - they certainly need to be raised!

I have not had time to watch it myself yet but may be a good watch.
