ARTICLE SUMMARY

UK faces climate targets challenge

The Government has vowed to play its full part in reaching climate change targets which will cost Europe more than £40 billion in the next 12 years.

HOW CAN WE TRUST THE POLITICIANS ON CLIMATE CHANGE?

29.02.08, 12:06pm

I just read the comments above and I despair! Tackling climate change is supposed to be Labour and Conservative Party policy. Yet where I live in Kent Tory-run Canterbury City Council is denying it even exists. That flies directly in the face of what David Cameron has being saying. Apparently this is because the local council leader John Gilbey does not agree with David Camerons policies and denies the existence of climate change We cannot trust politicians to protect our environment.

This politically motivated lie has been exposed by many experts, but their voices are seldom heard.

It’s kinda ironic that although politicians are constantly cited as being the most untrustworthy liars on gods earth, there are still plenty of disciples who are willing to believe this and many more of their ever expanding list of fairy tales!

Wake up!

UK FACES CLIMATE TARGETS ???

23.01.08, 7:49pm

I bet it does, one is probably to suck even more people into the web of deceit and lies, and the second is to tax the gullible of even more money,

Mr Barosso is only missing a stripey jumper, a highway mans mask, and a bag slung over his shoulder with swag written on it ??

UK FACES UNSUBSTANTIATED CLIMATE TARGETS CHANGES.

23.01.08, 7:16pm

What a load of testicles.
It has already been said, Religion and global warming are the 2 biggest con tricks of all time.
Why should I suffer by being financially robbed by another load of bleedin foreigners from across the water in Brussels who want to save the planet along with our little island for another bunch of bleedin foreigners to benefit from who have uninvitedly invaded us. Any money which I have is mine and I want to spend it how I choose, not on scumbag foreigners.
I will be leaving this crumby shithole of a earth one day and I begrudge leaving anything to those whom have not earned the right to be here by indigenous means.
I do not give a flying frog about this so called climate change, global warming, I look out for me and mine.
Why should I suffer when Judas Jock and his gang fly and drive around the world in gas guzzlers leaving a carbon footprint billions of times the size of ours or that of Sasquatch.
The Yanks, Japs and Chinese will carry on billowing it out while Judas Jock refills his coffers with our hard earned dosh.
Just imagine the carbon footprint of Buck House, Windsor Castle and Balmoral which we pay for but do not enjoy. Just imagine the carbon footprint of the House Of Commons and The House Of Lords, they will not be charged extra or meaningfully curtailed. Just imagine the carbon footprint of fat John Prescott, ooh.
ONE BIG CON, this world will look after itself like it always has done throughout time.
Do not be sucked in by these lies.

MORE PAIN

23.01.08, 5:26pm

Get ready for more stealth taxes in the name of meeting our targets. I notice that all the new entrants into the E.U. don't have to meet these targets, does someone want their votes?

GLOBAL WARMING

23.01.08, 5:19pm

Years ago we were warned of a new ice age approaching, then we were told how 'acid rain' would affect our crops. Now 'global warming' has been replaced by 'climate change' but now the EU wants us to pay for the privilege of experiencing world weather phenomenons by spending our taxes on their schemes.

....unpalatable news to bury.

They always wheel out the climate change bull$hit when they want to divert our attention.

When will this failed bunch get the message,we all know that the ex Chancers attempt to save the planet,is a thinly disguised ruse to squeeze more cash out of the long suffering Brits.

UNCHALLENGED HUMBUG.

23.01.08, 2:48pm

It's no good looking to politicians these days for any original thought,they all have to be on message.I'm puzzled however by the journalistic community.These clever people we used to be able to rely on to cut the politicians' nonsense to pieces.It seems to me that on any environmental issue, that they also have their boloney detectors switched off.

HOLD ON!

23.01.08, 2:40pm

"The legally binding targets set by Brussels follows intense negotiations between the European Commission and national capitals.

How did we get here?

When we voted to join the Common Market I don't recall being told we would have a European Commission setting legally binding targets for anything. All we voted for was a free trade area. What has that got to do with our climate? Tell the European Commission to get knotted.

UNPROVEN NONSENSE

23.01.08, 2:05pm

until we KNOW that our activities are actually influencing the climate (Al Gore is a failed politician-not a scientist) we really ought to get real on this issue. I'm all for conservation,re-cycling etc, but experts keep telling us the end is nigh, the millennium bug was going to cause chaos, death and destruction, aids was going to kill us all, we were all giong to catch herpies, bird flu and sars, get cancer from the hole in the oxone layer etc etc.
All these scares are is a means of extracting more taxes from everyone, whilst attention is diverted from the real issues ie the corrupt and incompetent quisllings who are selling our country down the river to the EU, whilst overseeing the islamisation of our country.
