A slightly different slant for me....
The Montreal Protocol 1990s? resulted in a CFC market place. Countries were allocated upper emmission limits.This resulted in the international buying and selling of emmission allowances.The western worlds answer to emmissions seem to be either-turn the issue into an enterprise or, pass this "cost" to the consumer. In short-paying more to use current forms of transport (internal combustion) will do nothing to kerb emmissions.Car manufacturers continue to spew out machines that are contributing to the problem simply because it is big business.More and more sophisticated technologies are finding their way into homes and are designed so poorly, that everything needs a bloody battery charger. Even to clean ones teeth! No-one (in government or corporately) is seriously going to be willing to kerb our voracious energy requirements when it is simply big business. Road taxing is just another cynical way of making a business out of the destruction of our environment. :face-huh: not unlike ppg16.......
