7 of 10 Brits Polled Say They "Will Not Foot Bill To Save Planet"

From the Independent:

More than seven in 10 voters insist that they would not be willing to pay higher taxes in order to fund projects to combat climate change, according to a new poll.

The survey also reveals that most Britons believe "green" taxes on 4x4s, plastic bags and other consumer goods have been imposed to raise cash rather than change our behaviour, while two-thirds of Britons think the entire green agenda has been hijacked as a ploy to increase taxes.

Brits have a lot of common sense, don't they? That used to be known as an American trait.
