"my arse" is all this green crap, and I think alot of you agree.
It's a convenient viewpoint, the one that a human cannot have an impact on a large planet. I would agree that a single human cannot, the point that is often (erm, repeatedly) missed is there are 6 billion of us with reliable projections of further increases.

The particular taxation issue referred to is VERY easy to solve - write to your MP/government representative and ask for all environement targeted taxes to be implemented as 'revenue neutral'. Some politicians are starting to understand this is required to deflect the cynicism but not all of them.

As for the pseudo-experts, please STFU if all you can cite is the european ice ages. I have a friend who has a phd in met, works in a related research dept. and he knows that he's not informed enough on this issue to make any definitive comments. Moral of the story, know your limits, both N1/Tq/TOT and elsewhere
