Don't forget to forgo sex with the missus and the hooker and don't water your lawn under penalty of death. That's the real meaning of the Green Marxist agenda. You lose your freedom to live YOUR life to the state.

Them's fightin' words 'round my industry (airplane manufacturer, airlines)....

Seriously, airlines are struggling with reduced loads due to the economic slowdown and now they are going to be taxed even more by having to track emissions and report them regularly? A couple airlines I work with have had to hire another engineer (read: added cost) just to measure, calculate and report emissions for the EU. That cost will get passed on to consumers.

Hey wait! I guess that's one of these "green jobs" they're talking about!

"Hefty taxes should be instroduced to deter POOR and MIDDLE CLASS people from flying"

theref, fixed it.

and cutting back in flying should cut down on the crowds of wannabe tourists on the ski slopes and beaches and further help the environment to stay healthy for the rich to enjoy
