Carbon Reduction Commitment B******s

[Monki]

As if industry in the UK was not already suffering at the hands of this government and their endless taxation (including a 15% surcharge on energy bills in the name of saving the planet), FURTHER environmental-crusading punishments will be forced on companies from April 2010

"Have to buy them from the government" What will they then do with the money to help the planet?

[Diderot]

Cunch of lying, cheating, blood-sucking bunts.

Unfortunately, as the EA is, in my direct experience, one of the most inefficient, numb organisations on the planet, this will be an almighty fk up.

Having now read thorugh the EA information, I have to question the mentality of the people who dream this bks up. I guess they can't get proper jobs.

Here's a 'frequently asked question' for them:

What if I used to have a 'meter settled on the half hour market', but due to the total incompetence of the Government and all of its agencies, including the EA, I now have no business, no employees and therefore no need for electricity?

[sinizter]

If I pay money to a Govt agency for using energy in any form, then I have passed on my responsibility for using that energy to them.

And if they don't actually spend the money they take in on environmental spend and to balance the carbon dioxide that I emitted and paid them to deal with, how on earth are they going to save the planet ?

There's no tax quite like a 'green' tax when your finances are fked to buggery and beyond.

Madness, but it's not limited to these shores - and there may be a roof tax heading our way as most things go one-way across the atlantic.

Barack Obama's top global warming expert and Nobel prize winner, Steve Chu has suggested that one of the most effective things we can do to counteract global warming is to paint our roofs (sic) white thereby reflecting the Sun’s energy back.

Of all the weirdy stuff that spins about in the name of gloopal wombling - this is a clear acknowledgement that tax gas is innocent, as almost all of the unremarkable effects of carbon dioxide are spent by roof height - and that the extremely modest natural temperature rise in the last few years of the last century is a mostly a combination of solar irradiance forcing (Shaviv x7 amplification factor in mind) plus the non-global urban heat island effect - which the IPCC wrongly dismisses. From a US of A administration now fully signed up to evil lemonade fizz, it's priceless! Chu omitted other natural forcings (solar eruptivity as per Svensmark etc) but even so, totally priceless.

So, roof tax it is then
