The whole thing is outrageous. Even if you accept the connection between
your choice of light bulb and global warming, how come the Government lets
people make their own decision about, say, air travel, but not about their
choice of light bulb? It isn't as if the alternatives were exact
replacements.


The alternatives to flying (car, train, buses, ships) all create more
pollution than flying.
They don't want you to use an alternative they just want you to pay more
tax.
