Green Populations under Negligent Governments
Posted on November 5, 2007 - Filed Under Environment/Conservation, Politics |
Essentially, most people support carbon taxes and other such measures in order to curb global warming, even though governments across the globe seem to take the view that their citizens are unwilling to go along with such measures. I hate to sound like a red on this green issue, but is this because of corporate recalcitrance on the matter of green taxes?

Well sure people want the taxes, but what if it means companies have to close down?
Governments are far more aware of the subtleties behind what a tax like that might bring. What would happen if the tax was introduced and 3,000 people loose their jobs because Ireland is no longer competative. Or how about the increase in inflation it would cause?
Just something that popped into my head.
Think of the job losses when we dont need to open a specalist skin cancer/melanoma ward!
Whoah Stalin! Everybody knows the ozone layer is just a myth invented by the jews.
