So this whole “the world’s gonna end unless we do something now malarkey”, is it just me or is this yet another cash cow.

Let’s face it, Britain is leading the world in “climate change” goodness, with carbon neutral this, low emission that and what does any other country do (p.s the answer is very little if indeed anything).

So the earth is heating up, true but it has been doing so for hundreds of thousands of years, is it really going to help if your local council fine you for putting a piece of plastic into the wrong dustbin?

Air travel once the right of only the wealthy opened up to everyone by the likes of Freddy Laker and then RyanAir oh and that pathetic excuse for an airline (SleazyJet) will be made impossible when it becomes the norm to have a carbon tax levied on every flight. Now does this money go to save the world, I would suspect not, it will simply go into nice high interest accounts of the government, along with hikes in petrol prices (car is bad, repeat this mantra 12 times!) and every other piece of taxation this country slings at the long suffering people.

I can see a future and a not too distant one either, where everything is blamed on climate change (what’s that you say, this time is now) and your whole life will be ruled by your very own, personal and individual “carbon footprint” given to you by some hippy do-gooder from the council who has worked out that you burn 12 trillion tonnes of carbon by the time you have breakfast. My friends this future is bleak and uncompromising, but it won’t save the world, whatever we reduce our carbon emissions by, China and other countries increases it by several folds with new power stations.

Don’t be fooled by the Hype, Climate Change is inevitable, surely the years of airline travel, cars, power stations, bombs, wars and destruction on the planet has started an avalanche that won’t stop by placing your recyclables into the green bin!!

Now I promised myself I would not rant (sorry mum), but come on for goodness sake, save the world, but save it sensibly. Is there any point saving a world if the people can’t afford to live in it?
