Labour is milking climate change

I SHOULD like to thank Peter Johnston for pointing me to the Met Office climate change forecasting website. I found it very interesting - it says many things contribute to climate change, including natural and man-made gases.

The point that I was trying to raise in my previous letter, "We are paying for Labour's green mistakes" (May 7), was that the Government is milking climate change for all it can. One tax after another, all in the name of the environment.

Bio-fuel production is causing massive increase in food prices and that in turn causes hunger in poor countries. So who is right?

I am all in favour of recycling, but strongly against ever increasing taxes which are, in reality, doing little or nothing for the environment.
