I can't believe it's not bollocks (C) Copyright SBS 2006

Well, who could?

On the off chance, we are now going to be screwed for huge amounts of tax to save the planet.

Even if you believe in global warming, you'd have to be as stupid as, er, the average Guardian reader, to think that handing over countless extra bilions is going to make the slightest bit of difference to the problem, given we apparently only contribute 2% to the greenhouse gases.

So we get to lower our standard of living just to make a point to the rest of the world.

Brilliant idea, why don't do something really clever like invade a foriegn country as well. Oh, we already did.

Of course, the reality is it's just a cool way for the nice Mr. Brown to raise even more money to prop up his ill conceived squandering of billions of pounds to achieve a short term increase in the number of labour voters.

Want to save the planet - stop buying new cars and drive something old and interesting. Yes, it probably pollutes more but nowhere near as much as the environmental cost of building a new one or disposing of all these lead acid batteries in your bloody Prius.

Most of all, please, just start to use your brain to think for yourself instead of just believing everything you are told.
