Professor Paul Ekins, who studies the economics of climate change, said taxing plasma screens would reflect their "greater climate change burden".

He needs to do something more productive like go chain himself to a power plant or something.

Plasma screens are getting bigger in size and energy consumption

I walked past a wall-filled display of plasma’s at a local market and it was like walking past a blast furnace.

LCD’s seem warm too, but not nearly like that. And I really can’t tell the difference in the picture quality.

" taxing plasma screens [to] reflect their "greater climate change burden".

A new Tax! (which is the real reason for the global warming myth)

What about the poor drunk homeless people who gave their blood so we could have a plasma TV? If we tax plasma TVs out of business, where will they get their money for wine?

Plasma televisions, which are 50% bigger than their cathode-ray tube equivalents...

Say what?

I’ll give up my Plasma’s, when they pry my cold dead fingers off the remote.

Liberals want to take away our TVs. For the record, I have an LCD TV.
