ENVIRONMENTAL RIPOFF

Published: Thursday June 26,2008 by Gaffer

It is with great relief that I hear that the majority of people are at last beginning to realise that the UK government’s climate change propaganda that we have all been subjected to has not been entirely true. ‘More than 2,500 scientists’ who have ostensibly blamed anthropic activity alone for global warming are far outnumbered by those scientists who disagree. Furthermore, the voters are to say the least, deeply suspicious of carbon trading schemes and government proposals to force people to pay exorbitant environmental taxes to support the rich property owners who are the only people who can afford green measures to save money on electricity and gas in their homes. It is significant that these very rich people, living in rural properties bought for millions, invariably find that in order to implement their solar panels, wind powered generators, ground source heating, private water supplies and insulation, it is essential to own and run a large 4x4 and trailer, and that the cost of all these things are expected to be assisted by grants paid for by punitive taxation of the not so well off.
The whole green ethic is brought into disrepute by the words and actions of not only this government but also the leaders of the other two major political parties, all vying with each other to increase ‘green’ taxes in order to pacify the green meanies who rejoice in the discomfiture of working class rural dwellers and businesses.
The government’s propaganda about impossible schemes such as ‘carbon-neutral housing’ and ‘carbon offsetting’ cuts no ice with the voters who, when investigating what this means, find that this is just another fraudulent scam, run by just another government-approved fatcat company with the aim of parting the voters from their hard-earned cash!.
