Post: The author misunderstands the entire point in a “green tax”

The author misunderstands the entire point in a “green tax” 

In The 'green' car tax grabs that don't add up

The whole point of taxing non-green emissions is NOT just to cover the costs, but to REDUCE those emissions

What the author advocates is juut a way of allowing someone with cash, the ability to be as greedy as they like.

Are you telling me that just because someone can afford the "fiscal value" of their Co2 emissions that they should be allowed to "use up their quota"

You talk about the future with a waterlogged Weymouth, I would LOVE to hear the people of that furtures views on the author of this rubbish, and of our warped values in general.

The views in this article show very clearly how humantiy have come to be in the situation they are now, rather than take responsiblity for our actions, we live in a childish, blinkered world of "more now, me, me, me, pay later"
