Polanski wants fossil fuel producers to pay for firefighting helicopters

[Mr Depressed]

Here is the latest in a long line of idiotic comments from Zack Polanski - "...his should all be funded by taxing the fossil fuel giants who are profiting from fuelling these infernos."

Will Polanski be charging a levy on anyone going camping with a primus stove, or campfires, or chucking away lit cigarettes? According to the UK health security agency only last month, and I quote, "Most UK wildfires are started by human actions whether deliberate or accidental. Fires started by cigarettes, litter, barbecues, campfires and fireworks in very dry areas are entirely preventable..."

Besides, without fossil fuel, the helicopters wouldn't be able to fly.

What a plank. This guy is comedy gold. If God made a bigger fool than this bloke, I don't want to meet him.
