but there is one voice of reason on the public's side, Lord Turnbull, demanded that politicians ‘stop frightening us and our children’ about the threat of global warming, He demanded that Whitehall and ministers consider the damaging economic impact of blindly following the ‘climate change agenda’, this attack on green taxes also came as one of Britain’s biggest power companies unveiled a round of price rises that will add nearly £200 to the average family bill, Scottish Power blamed soaring wholesale prices for the 19 per cent increase in gas prices, and a 10 per cent rise in the cost of electricity,
but Dr Benny Peiser, director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, said the soaring price of fuel was also the result of Britain’s ‘stubborn but wrong headed commitment to renewable energy’, he said: ‘so called green stealth taxes are already adding 15 to 20 per cent to the average domestic power bill and even more to business users’, in other words, what a rip off, but at least people are beginning to believe me.
