Felly sgrifennodd Tudor Hughes :
Nobody will cut down on anything while they can still afford it
except things like fags, where there is some self-interest.
That's not true. CFCs in aerosols died a death because people stopped
buying them, not because of the price, but because they had been well
informed of the damage they did. Governments followed public opinion
and banned them.
There are plenty of us (well, at least me and Will) who are actively
doing things to reduce our carbon emissions.
However, I don't disagree with your proposed measures regarding those
among us who are less responsible, particularly:
Introduce a very heavy
tax on aircraft fuel. (There is none at present).
Why on earth can't we find a way to reach an international agreement on
this? Maybe it's those Americans again... [insert half-tongue-in-cheek
emoticon here, whatever that is]
