George Bush is fervently against global warming because if he admits it it will cost billions for him to try and tackle.

The United Kingdom is putting measures in place to lower their emissions, that is why you are being taxed. It costs money to try and convert your power grid to something cleaner. it's not some great big conspiracy to try and make up for taxes lost from smokers....and when where these lost anyway? The smoking 'ban' is only in public places so lots of people will keep smoking - we've had the ban here in Ireland for quite some time now and it hasn't hugely reduced the number smoking.
The reason you tax smokers is because they drain the health service budget by being more likely to contract diseases so that's a whole other kettle of fish.

And as for this nonsense about the earth as a magic ball that will continue to live no matter what we do - yes it is true that the world goes in cycles of warm and cold. It is a fallacy to say that anything like this has ever happened before. The earth has no sensors that tell it when it's hot so it can cool down, it has to do with the o-zone layer, the distance from the sun, tides and a myriad other things - these are what go in cycle. We have turfed the earth out of synch, you can't just watch it recover this time.

On the subject of the earth as a CO2 producer - this is one of the logic defying stunts pulled off by the video linked at the top. (a video I might add that has been widely rubbished by scientists and the IPCC).
If you pay attention you'll notice that after the lovely man tells us that 70% of all CO2 emissions are from the sea he mumbles that it takes it back in again at night. Kind of like breathing. And, as half the world is always in the shade, the CO2 level actually remains the same in regards to how much the sea puts in or out.
Things like plants and trees actually store CO2 and save us from further emissions - there is an awful lot of CO2 stored neatly in the Amazon Rainforest, the only production there is coming from us cutting the tress down.
