Well that happens everywhere - Not all road tax goes on the road. Ring fencing funds is quite a restrictive thing to do.
Problem is with ring fencing is that you get unnecessary expediture. Say green taxes raise £100million, and the budgeted expediture in that area for the year is £80million. Because those funds are ring fenced, invariably the £20million is spent on unnecessary projects in order to maintain funding the following year. (Much like we see councils having lots of unnecesary expenditure in Jan/Feb to ensure the same funding the following year).

By looking out of the window. Try, if you can, to step away from the keyboard on this issue with me. You know my views, there's nothing to be gained from re-hashing it yet again.

So, by looking out the window, you see change. I see it too, mind you I have moved several times and to several different climate zones over the last 30 or so years.
Yes, climate changes. It does on Earth, and is observed on other worlds too. No cars there though.
BTW, get some woolies ready, we're about to head in to a "cool spot".
