With the wheels falling off of MMuGW, the next " tax 'em till they die" scare is being rolled out.

We'll have sad pictures of whales next, taken about 30 years ago and passed off as the clear results of us bds acidifying the oceans, and if only the whale killing non believer's stopped breathing and/or gave everything they own in 'acid taxes' (Got any Vera's?), all would be well....

I read this next scare in last weekend's papers. It would seem the MMGW zealots have one or two 'in reserve' tricks up their sleeve should their main stance show signs of weakening.

The latest scaremongering topic designed to take over from MMGW when that money spinning ploy collapses.

To acidify the ocean you'd probably have to put so much pollutant into the water the sea level would rise so much there wouldn't be enough land for everyone to live on.

Yeah but, we would have new models and input data to fudge. I don't thnik they'll get away with it again so easily though.

Now you see why we've let our fishing fleet go to the wall, our government was way out ahead of the game and knew there was no future in it.

Tax on fish fingers!
