The EU is counting on this money to bail themselves out. It Takes A Scam To Support Socialism.
The fraud that the EPA is using to shut down our power plants. Time for the charlatans to put up or shut up.
Merry Christmas
As Europeans risk their very civilization they cannot manage to give up their scams. What a sad state of affairs is Europe. And worse, it is the model our President uses to define our future.
But they are forcing it on all travel into and out of their ports. That means, the price to do business with the EU will be going up.
How does this help their economy? Oh! That's right! It's not suppose to help their economy. It's suppose to hurt the worlds economy because of Man Made Global Warming. Now I get it.
Simply tack on a "landing fee" for all planes from EU Countries in the exact, same amount as what they charge our airlines for this so-called, faux, Gore-Bull warming "tax."
Of course, the only drawback is that any time you get Big Gubmint involved in any such policy, they will necessarily need a huge bureaucracy to run said program and what the airlines end up getting reimbursed will probably be about 50 cents on the dollar.
Congress could get involved and write legislation which would impose a tariff of sorts and give the airlines a tax break commensurate with what the EU charges.
Regardless, we should not take this laying down as it is a phony, fraudulent effort to simply extort money to help bail out their failed, Socialist economies.
“US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton herself pressured the EU ahead of court proceedings, writing in a letter to officials that the US “will be compelled to take appropriate action” in the case of an unfavorable decision. “
Amazing how the left can constantly be selective with its concern via “Climate Change”.
This just exposes this whole scam as the extortion it really is.
"Becausse ve are so much smarter zan ze American Monkey Fartss!"
Higher airline prices feared as EU backs pollution fee
Global Warming on Free Republic
In Europe, the inmates are clearly running the asylum.
The mighty and bankrupt EU has spoken. Iceberg ahead? Screw the iceberg, Full Speed Ahead!
Was listening to an interview with Lord Monkton http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Monckton last week.
He was strongly warning Americans about this very movement, to strengthen EU (and America) “carbon” nonsense.
His point was, it is a deceitful attempt to eliminate our freedom to vote.
The eco-left are worried we are onto them, and seek to use global laws enacted by treaty, so that they cannot be voted out of power.
He was quite insistent on the dishonest agenda about to be rolled out.
I think he mentioned the new buzz-word will be “the science is solid”.
It is to replace the former “the science is settled”.
Just as “climate change” replaced “global warming”.
