[quote=Gaina;173629]You know what really gets me? They are telling us to recycle, use low energy lightbulbs, taxing our flights etc, then they go and build more houses, don't give aircraft and car manufacturers any incentive to make cleaner vehicles and then on top of that, America buys India's emmissions quota so the can pump even more 'you know what' into the atmosphere than they already do, which is far more detrimental. And lets not start on the annihilation of the rainforests for palm oil....

I think that they target items that are taxable and don't address the issues that cause most damage to the planet such as food production. They can't tax what goes into your mouth and so little is said about the damage to the planet from what you eat on a daily basis. See this report on the farming industries affect on the planet:
