Britons do not want to pay to save the planet for Al Gore

It looks like the Brits are finally catching on. When people realize the costs of reducing CO2 will come out of their own pocket and see that actual global warming is mostly hype they will throw the Algoreites bums out of office. Of course that will initiate a whole new set of problems with the elitists that are peddling this snake oil to establish global governance.

Green tax revolt: Britons ‘will not foot bill to save planet’ – Climate Change, Environment – The Independent

More than seven in 10 voters insist that they would not be willing to pay higher taxes in order to fund projects to combat climate change, according to a new poll.

The survey also reveals that most Britons believe “green” taxes on 4×4s, plastic bags and other consumer goods have been imposed to raise cash rather than change our behaviour, while two-thirds of Britons think the entire green agenda has been hijacked as a ploy to increase taxes.

The findings make depressing reading for green campaigners, who have spent recent months urging the Government to take far more radical action to reduce Britain’s carbon footprint. The UK is committed to reducing carbon emissions by 60 per cent by 2050, a target that most experts believe will be difficult to reach. The results of the poll by Opinium, a leading research company, indicate that maintaining popular support for green policies may be a difficult act to pull off, and attempts in the future to curb car use and publicly fund investment in renewable resources will prove deeply unpopular.
