Brexit will have harmed them more than carbon taxes. I don't know where and how long you have lived on this planet. I can only remember close to half a century and even discounting that as a kid I might have felt the cold a bit more with less fat for insulation, winters were longer and colder 45 years ago. We used to have continuous snow cover around the city for at least a couple of weeks every year, while it all melts away now after a day or two. Ski resorts in the mountains used to have snow without lots of expensive equipment to make it themselves. It's pretty obvious to me that there is global warming.
