UK's CO2 plan 'certain to fail'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7881868.stm

Britain can't reduce its CO2 (oh now I am worried). Who knew that:
1. If we use oil in cars, and generate our electricity from coal, and heat our homes with gas, and don't change our energy sources, the upward trend would continue?
2. This is more CO2 = Global warming rubbish. Soon, with the record low solar activity, global warming will be dismissed as the Earth undergoes a general reduction in temperature.

Or, the CO2 alarmists will explain global cooling as being human caused too. Are the public dumbed down enough to believe that? I guess we will see.
