Obviously there is a concerted campaign around public awarness......awarness
that some some sort of further tax levy will be introduced. What is it now? a special lane for shared cars? no doubt eventually the single car user will have to pay. Mind you it could prove amusing with 'proffessional' passengers selling their services to enable drivers to use the 'fast tracking lanes. "Gavin Staples" wrote in message ... I am not very keen on this either Norman. It seems like a good old fashioned bit of BBC bias in favour of the greenhouse effect climate change brigade. They all conveniently forget that in the early middle ages there was a spell of warming much greater than we have today. There was no industrialisation around then. However, they all ignore that side of the argument deliberately. Gavin. "Norman Lynagh" wrote in message ... News24 have been running a lot of programming on climate change today. I've only seen some snippets but I haven't been very impressed by some of what the "experts" have been saying. For example, one of this country's leading scientists in the subject has just said that the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has increased by 40 percent since the industrial revolution. I have no idea what the true figure is but, bearing in mind that the main greenhouse gas by volume is water vapour, that figure of a 40 percent increase must surely be wrong. He was probably referring to gases other than water vapour but that's not what he said and it does make a big difference. My main gripe is that most of the "experts" are being very positive about what "will" happen, even down to quite precise regional detail. There's not a lot of uncertainty being expressed. The theme seems to be that "our models show that this will happen and we are confident that our models are accurate". If only it were that simple :-( Norman.
