The U.K.s Climate Change Act of 2008 will cost the average British household about $13,703 by the year 2030, according to a new report by The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF).
The levies, taxes and subsidies associated with the Climate Change Act cost the average British household $415 in 2014 alone, which will rise to an estimated $791 annually by 2020 and $1,110 each year by 2030, according to the report. The total costs of the policy will add up to three times the annual British National Health Service (NHS) budget.
GWPFs report says that the government only considered about one-third of the Acts total costs while simultaneously overestimating potential savings from energy efficiency. GWPF claims that the British government excluded higher energy costs and taxes as well as committing much of the costs of wind and solar power.

Symbolism over substance.
Which characterizes liberal policies.
And they usually overpromise and underdeliver.

Climate change scam policies hits hardest those who can least afford it.
For millionaires like Algore and Leonardo DiCaprio,increased energy costs are scarcely noticeable.
For people down the income ladder, it can mean the difference between putting food on the table and staying warm in the winter.
Making energy more expensive too leads to job losses and reduces economic growth.
While doing virtually nothing to impact climate change.
You nailed it.
But since half of the households don’t pay taxes, it would actually cost the ones that do an average of $27,406.
Chode! Almost half - or this election (and every one from here on out) would have been stolen by the Democrats. They do get a participation award for the doubles, the illegals and the dead with sore loser-ship regarding the electoral.
