The fact is the UK VAT rise would not be necessary if politicians drop the failed ideology of man-made climate change. Rejection of the failed pseudo-science of CO2 manmade climate change would save the UK £18 billion per year – £5bn more than the VAT hike grab by the exchequer!

I have heard independently from Australia this morning that they have the same problems with Miss Gillard that we have with Chris Huhne, who wants to raise the price of ‘carbon’ to equal the failed wind-power, what I call the Windmills of Shame.

The Alarmists are hell-bent on ruining the economies of the Western World. In spite of wonderful books, in spite of great articles in the Press this juggernaut keeps rolling.
