Quick, let's make something more expensive! Everything is killing people and everything needs taxing more, naturally. It's OK because I myself can afford it and we can just tell poor people to use the public transport that doesn't exist. The public transport that does exist is also expensive and/or unreliable because ideology in government is that cars are better. But that's also ok, I think, anyway doesn't affect me --- Sarcasm aside people really need to stop this reflexive "scientists say X is bad" -> more taxes and higher prices reaction.
