But as I said before, it is still a theory. And to make decisions about the environment based on a theory is a bit dodgy to say the least.

OK, it makes sense to turn things off, just because it saves you money. But I am against extra tax on flights, for example, because that will start to price some people out of flying. It will start to become again something just for the rich, which I oppose on principle, especially when it is only based on a theory.

Also, some politicians are using this as an excuse to slow down development in the third world, where many countries and areas need development urgently. To leave them in poverty just based on a theory is extremely wrong in my view.
