EU elections: 'climate misused to raise tax'Tuesday 02 June 2009 The goverment is exaggerating the problems of climate change in order to bring in all sorts of environmental taxes, Barry Madlener, European election campaign leader for the anti-Islam PVV, says in an interview with website nu.nl. 'Scientifically, climate change is a big question mark,' Madlener told nu.nl. 'Dutch politicians are behaving as if it is the fault of humans.... there are as many institutes which say it is as say it is not.' Madlener also said environment problems did not need to be tackled by the EU. 'These so-called problems are global. We [should] work with the Americans and Chinese as well.' © DutchNews.nl
What i dont understand even if global warming is true..how is it going to be averted if taxes are increased?? Maybe we should ban cars, airplanes etc and go back to mules. By kos | June 2, 2009 12:08 PM I second Kos's comment. Governments are raking in money under the guise of 'environmental taxes', yet no information as to how it gets spent is offered. Or, it seems, asked for. I find it bizarre that the media hasn't picked up on this. Does it get used to finance development of hydrogen powered vehicles? Or to pay poorer countries to not destroy their rainforests to make space for farming yet more methane producing cattle? Or to subsidise production of organic food for local consumption? I don't think so. By Stark | June 2, 2009 5:22 PM

It seems that the whole of Europe, especially the U.K. are being "sucked" into increasing taxes, under the disguise of 'global warming'.
Mars is currently going through a 'global warming' phase. Who is at fault here ? Aliens, driving their spaceships around ?
Governments and the E.U. have been found out. Beware the consequences
