I can remember as a child worrying about the "coming ice age"...

When you figure the weather people, despite all the technology and super computers we have, cannot with certainty tell me its going to rain on a specific day next week; its very difficult for me to take their prediction of global catastrophe in x number of years very seriously.

And, since they tell me the reason they cannot predict the weather with more certainty is the number of factors involved in the equation, some still unknown, some beyond human prediction, I am ever more skeptical they can with certainty tell me it is MAN causing their predicted global climate change disaster.

Nah, this is politics and greed- a political agenda designed by people who want reputation and gold- not science IMHO.

At least they didn't start taxing you to cover the Mayan end of the world prediction. $30 a month to pay for a fantasy would piss me off too. Hell, the whole concept of VAT makes me angry... fortunately, we don't do that here... yet!

That's political speak, John. It DOES add value to your tax. Your original tax was only £15.71, but now with the Value Added Tax, the VALUE of your tax will be 20% HIGHER, or £18.85. Isn't it wonderful how our politicians can use modern math to further fleece the public!!!

I have hated global warming for a long time, not the idea that the world is heating up and we are all going to die, but the fact that they have known we had dinosaurs living here in tropical times and then an ice age that killed them off and ever since then we have been thawing out..it's just been a big natural cycle which all of a sudden the polititions have decided is our fault..

Anyway the idea of global warming has started to appeal to people like me who suffer these endless cold winters and cold wet summers, and some of us think global warming will be a good thing...

So now the governments have changed the name from global warming to climate change..

Every electricity and gas bill has an extra charge now and it is called a climate change levy (CCL) this month mine is (£15.71) and there is a VAT (Value Added Tax) charge of 20% on top of that..OK so the CCL is a tax because someone is enjoying better and better weather..They have actually found a way to tax the weather..but how does value get added to a tax?

John.
