Suggesting ways to help prevent global warming are in a bid to save the planet...
Would you expect the government to say anything different? The government is there for the sake of the people, so of course they're going to try and keep them all alive a little bit longer >_< hardly what id call annoying.

I don't care about Global warming either, but it's nice to know some people do, and that they're at least trying to help.

I also can't remember one time the government has ever "told me what to do".

Are you all reading some kind of "Government instruction magazine" ? or am I missing something here?

Nobody is telling me what to eat either, or anybody else if we look at the obesity levels =] Ok, perhaps some people make recommendations on how to live healthily/productively etc, but that's a good thing surely? Even if you don't choose to agree with it.

Id like to see some genuine examples of the government telling us what to do? Something so awful that it would make me angry? [because as far as im aware I do pretty much what I want at the moment? besides breaking laws.]

And not just the government suggesting how to live a productive, healthy, self benefitting life. Not to mention the fact they're hardly in people's faces, unless you insist on reading any government based articles in the newspaper.
