Twenty-six nations are expected to lodge a formal protest on Wednesday against a European Union law to make airlines pay for carbon emissions — adding to transatlantic tension on an issue that has triggered a tit-for-tat bill in the U.S. Congress.

Under EU legislation, from January 1 all flights to or from Europe will have to buy carbon permits to help offset their emissions under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) — the 27 member bloc’s prime tool for trying to curb the amount of carbon in the atmosphere.

Last week, in the U.S. Congress, where environmental issues have become a flashpoint between Republicans and President Barack Obama’s Democrats, the lower house passed a bill making it illegal for airlines to comply with the EU’s law.

  1. proof in the pudding of how and why agw is a globalist agenda nothing more.

  2. Global Warming, is all about the money and control. The taxes and regulations that will make a few insiders filthy rich and steal from the rest of us. Global warming is the big lie of the 21st century, another means for the banksters to prey upon the innocent.

    Quoting from Carbon Capitalists, Bloomberg Magazine Dec. 19th 2009, featuring the bankster whore Blythe Mastes:

    Banks intend to become the intermediaries in this fledgling market. Although U.S. carbon legislation may not pass for a year or more, Wall Street has already spent hundreds of millions of dollars hiring lobbyists and making deals with companies that can supply them with “carbon offsets” to sell to clients.

    Google the above info and confirm for yourself, who is really behind this fraud.
