Tax raising is currently being wrapped up as, Saving the Planet, Saving the NHS etc etc.
For Green Issues why not ask the US, China,the EU, India etc to put say 5 billion each into R&D to be used ONLY for coming up with processes that resolve the Global warming issue.
Then nobody could be accused of breaking the Kyoto agreements. The G8 could be the governing body to control the R&D funds. This seems a more balanced way to combat Global Warming than some Chancellor wanting to hide behind the issue whilst robbing us all blind, (not a pun).
