Is Car tax rated by CO2 fraudulent?

Since there is still no proven association between CO2 emissions in car exhaust and harmful climate change, are we due a huge refund on car tax and ULEZ payments..?

The UK and probably many other countries charge people a form of annual vehicle excise duty on the basis of the CO2 emission figures.  Remember CO2 comprises just 0.042% of the atmosphere. And the UK contributes 1% of that annually.

Remember that Photosynthesis stops and plants begin to die at CO₂ concentrations below 150 ppm, which is why commercial greenhouses pump in extra CO2. 

Now the UK is about to charge an insane amount of over £700 a year for owners of quite modest vehicles as part of the crazy net zero insanity. So nasty surprises for new car owners...

There is still no conclusive proof of the speculative anthropogenic climate change hypothesis, it remains subjective conjecture, extrapolation, coincidence, speculation, hyperbole and downright misinformation!! 

So we must get the UK government in court to justify using the excuse to tax drivers debate the relevance of CO2 to climate change - especially in the context of the UK's 1% contribution to the annual global total and demand that they refund the exorbitant charges they have been making on the basis of no so evidence..? 

It would be really helpful to settle the main debate once and for all and invite the main contributors to all sides of the debate - and also use this example to start a campaign to introduce the concept of "contempt for the truth" and require politicians an all those pay from  public funds to be responsible for their lies - and expose their support for money making hoaxes. And if there is a proven link to CO2 and climate crisis, then the government must take action against the baddies...

The countries most responsible for annual anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions are:

China - Responsible for a significant portion of global emissions, with recent figures indicating it accounts for around 30% of global CO₂ emissions.
United States - Historically a major emitter, currently the second largest contributor to global CO₂ emissions, with emissions around 11-15% of the global total.
India - The third largest emitter, with emissions increasing due to economic growth and population, representing approximately 6-7% of global emissions.
Russia - Emits around 4-5% of global CO₂, known for its reliance on fossil fuels, especially natural gas and coal.
European Union (EU27) - Collectively, the EU countries are significant emitters, though the exact percentage can vary year by year; they are generally responsible for around 7-8% of global emissions.
Brazil - While not always in the top echelon for CO₂ emissions, Brazil features prominently when including deforestation, which contributes significantly to its emissions profile.
The United Kingdom contributes approximately 1% of global annual CO₂ emissions.
