British voters question 'green tax' motives

From this article:

The majority of voters believe that "green taxes" are designed mainly to fill the Government's coffers, rather than to encourage environmentally-friendly behaviour, according to a new poll.

On the eve of what is widely predicted to be a "green Budget", some 59% of those questioned in a YouGov survey were sceptical about the Government's anti-pollution justification for taxes on motoring and flying.
