Mind you Fletch, from your earlier comments you would never believe a scientist who claimed to have developed thw warp drive anyhow

Petrol tax is a trickle cost. IMHO, people are more likely to change their habits when they see the charge as a single annual cost then a couple of extra quid every time they full up.
The transport sector is already struggling which I suggest is why the impact on diesel fuel has been minimised at present....

Surely said scientist would be able to demonstrate his working proof.

In our economy, overtaxing fuel has a huge negative impact as some 70% of our consumables are moved around the country by road.

It might result in produce being sourced from local farmers, manufactured goods being produced in the UK, etc. It always amazes me when I read the Country Of Origin labels in the supermarket fruit & veg how far stuff travels to be consumed in the UK market.
Why do we need to source beans from Kenya, Sweetcorn from South Africa, butternut from Israel, lamb from New Zealand

Perhaps, but if you had invented warp travel, would you want the worlds dickheads following you into your brave new world?
Well... They are working on it.
Just need to work harder if you ask me.

Mind you. Labour would probably start taxing Antimatter then.

Hmmm time to chuck in a bit then leg it........
I work for a utility company and so am very close to the Global Warming/Carbon Issue. I don't deny it exists - however I do believe it is inevitable - the earth goes through changes and cycle naturally. We may be speeding it up but it will happen anyway.
The UK is on its soapbox as usual trying to demonstrate what we should do to the world whilst developing countries rack up their pollution rates and ignore it (and why shouldnt they? - we had our time)
90% of it is related to tax and population control - Its the new terror - The new cold war! Want to REALLY help? Then forget our piddling 2% contribution to it and help China and the like to cut down on emmissions - Invest in them................No? Didn't think so!
What I for one and ******ed of with is the Government, their attitude, spending and lying.
Want to see Irony??
Where does a massive proportion of our taxes actually get spent currently?
To fund a war/wars in the Middle East to secure supplies of natural resources which is what is allegedly causing the problem in the first place!!!!
Go figure guys.....

Please qualify this generalisation, as you obviously know better than the worlds scientists.
There is a lot of ignorance, arrogance and misunderstanding in this thread.
Its a sad day when a little tax increase is more important to the people of this world than the world itself.
Essentially, most people are saying its someone elses fault, as usual.
