The European Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) has infuriated the Chinese, which has banned its airlines from contributing, while a bill has been approved by the US Senate calling on the government to use "all tools" to keep US operators exempt.
How is that discriminatory or protectionnist (the words appear in the article) when it applies to all airlines?
There are already airport taxes -this is simply an airport tax said to be linked to CO2 emissions. Yet it is branded unlawful?!? Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
between US and China, we matter, but only if united.
as individual nations we are just inconsequential, compared to the giant behemoths, who both hate anything that interferes with destructo-capitalism.
fuck the future, basically. the glitter of power is about now.
and the EU with its noble ideas... time to castrate it permanently.
or were the noble ideas just cover for bankster-as-usual behaviour, no longer necessary now we know who our lords and masters are, no more lipstick needed. ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
