European Airlines Fear the new regulations from Brussels

 

 This came across my email, I am posting this because what affect the European airlines, also affect the World carriers when they travel to Europe, when you travel there you already pay "extra Fees and Taxes" that are added to the cost of your ticket.  When I and my fellow employees, when we "Fly for Free, we are not charged to fly, except for the fees to get into the European Union, they access a fee for every seat on every plane and the airlines will pass that down to the customer, they ain't gonna eat that. and now the clowns in Brussels in the name of "Climate Change" are adding a slew of new fees and taxes the next few years to the travelers, and they don't care if it stifles travel, remember, we the great unwashed shouldn't be traveling far from home anyway, because we "Forget our place".  Flying is for the elitist and the the bureaucrats, not for the "Hoi Pelloi".  I am posting this because what is going on in Europe will eventually be tried in the United States, but China, India and Pakistan and other 3rd world countries will get a pass because of "Privilege".

KLM says national taxes threaten the level playing field for airlines.

After a 2022 marked by operational difficulties, KLM is looking ahead to a 2023 that may be equally complicated, but for different reasons: Dutch environmental legislation—both planned and implemented—will be in the spotlight.

While the Dutch carrier, part of the Air France-KLM group, may be the most affected by the measures being proposed or implemented in the Netherlands, other governments around the region also are taking matters into their own hands in a bid to reduce the environmental impact of aviation, even as Fit for 55 climate legislation moves toward definitive adoption in Brussels.

• Netherlands government wants to cap flights at Schiphol from end-2023
• Norway, Belgium also introducing new measures

Unsurprisingly, airlines are not 100% convinced of the benefits.

In June 2022, the Netherlands government put forward a proposal under which Amsterdam Airport Schiphol no longer would be allowed to exceed the established noise nuisance limits, effectively limiting flight movements to 440,000 a year. That cap, which compares to an existing limit of 500,000 and previous government plans to allow for growth to 540,000, could take effect in November 2023.

Announcing the move, the Netherlands said it was attempting to balance Schiphol’s role as an economic driver and provider of connectivity with the quality of life of those living nearby.   

In addition, a tax on passengers departing the Netherlands by air was set to triple to almost €30 ($32) starting Jan. 1 with the aim of encouraging travelers to opt for greener methods of transport.

The Dutch government is not the only one imposing mandates on commercial aviation. France put in place its own 1% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blending mandate in early 2022, ahead of the Europe-wide targets due to come into force under ReFuel EU legislation, following Norway and Sweden, which already have a SAF blending mandate.

Norway also has announced plans to increase the air passenger tax on flights to destinations outside Europe in the 2023 national budget. Long-haul carrier Norse Atlantic Airways said it is  “deeply concerned” about the move, which could affect its services to and from the region.

“Norse Atlantic Airways operates direct intercontinental point-to-point routes in a highly competitive and price-sensitive market,” the airline said in its December operational update. “This planned increase means that we may be forced to reassess our investment in direct routes to [and] from Norway, to the detriment of Norwegian businesses and passengers.”

Belgium also is planning to introduce changes to the tax regime at Brussels Airport on April 1, in a bid to tackle noise pollution. A new system of airport taxes on aircraft landings and takeoffs there will be calculated according to a formula that considers factors such as the time of day, levels of emissions and destination, as well as noise levels, which are currently the basis.

Flights shorter than 500 km (310 mi.) and those operated with older, noisier aircraft will incur higher charges.

France also has moved to ban domestic flights for which a rail alternative of under 2.5 hr. exists, a move that was found lawful by the European Commission in December.

That new law came about initially at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, as one of its conditions for providing a state bailout for Air France. France, the home of the high-speed train, later decided to broaden the restriction.   

Airlines have sounded the alarm about these individual environmental measures, noting they run the risk of skewing the competitive balance in a global industry.

“Aviation is an international sector, we compete across borders. National taxes damage our level playing field,” a KLM representative told Aviation Week.

On the proposed flight-reduction plan, KLM says it is still in talks with the government.

“They will need to follow the EU’s balanced approach when it comes to noise-hindrance reduction. This EU procedure also obliges the government to first look at full-fledged alternatives before, if necessary, turning the volume knob of flight movements,” the representative said.

For now, KLM says it is too early to tell what effect, if any, the passenger tax increase is having on bookings, but it urges the government to make sure the proceeds are used productively.

“KLM, along with the partners of the sustainable aviation table, believe it is very important that a substantial part of the money raised by the increase in the Dutch flight tax goes to more sustainable aviation. Otherwise, an air passenger tax will not help the environment,” the airline says.

The carrier notes its network is under pressure because of the Dutch government’s capacity plans.

For now, nothing is certain: the airline is still in talks with the government about the measure.

KLM says it shares the ministerial goal of reducing noise and CO₂ emissions. However, the airline argues, “Reduced airport capacity will benefit neither travelers, nor the broader network nor the Netherlands in general. Moreover, it restricts the earning capacity of airlines wanting to invest in sustainability.”

Fleet renewal is a better solution than capacity reduction, KLM says.

Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary has spoken out against short-flight bans, noting that while there are alternatives for traveling from cities such as Paris to Amsterdam, simple geography means citizens of some EU countries, including Ireland, have no viable choice but to fly.

Airlines also say introducing individual measures does not make sense when improving air traffic management with Single European Sky updates, long-stalled for political reasons, would have a huge impact on efficiency, bringing fuel savings of up to 10%.

At a media day in Geneva Dec. 7, Willie Walsh, director general of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) cited a Eurocontrol study that showed in 2019, the 24% of flights under 500 km accounted for only 3.8% of CO₂ emissions, meaning short-haul routes represent a relatively small potential saving.

“We need to have this debate firmly anchored in data,” Walsh said. “And the data demonstrate that the greatest contribution politicians could make is to reform air traffic control in Europe.”

The Elites Trying to destroy "Good Food"

 

I ran across this on Bongino Reports, it took over where "Drudge" used to be before it"Jumped The Shark".I believe that this is an ongoing problem and this is part of the "Great Reset" where the Elites of the world would have the Good food and we eat the "biofood" or the engineered Food,Think "Soylent Green".  This is a further attempt to split between the "Haves and Have Nots" using Food as an identifier.  if you are part of the "In crowd", you will have the good stuff, the real stuff, the wholesome stuff, well if you are what they consider "Hoi Pelloi", well we will eat "Dirt" for lack of a better word, here is a tongue in cheek Food pyramid I ran across a month ago...

  You will eat your portions and you will like it....or else.....Comrade....While I was working on my post yesterday, I had to go to work before I finished and I ran across this from Twatter...Compliments of "L.Jagi Lamplighter" whom I follow on twitter and it ties in with what I was working with......I'm not sure if this is a parody or if they are serious as f*ck.....

   Knowing some of the B.S from the Kung-flu studies and some of the other stuff, I wouldn't put it past some scientist to come up with some hokey bullshit like this and try to sell it off as "Truth" to force the "Dirt people" to go along with it while the Elitist carve up all the farmland and stop farming, you know that they are trying to put the brakes on the Dutch farming because of "Climate Change" and the Dutch farmers have a massive case of the ass right now and the protest is spreading...and of course you just had Pelosi rush through an "Assault Rifle Ban" here in the States.....You don't think all this crap isn't linked together?   The "Powers That Be" are pushing really hard...and I don't like it one bit and my dander is getting raised.

Food Compass gives high scores to fries, Lucky Charms, Honey Nut Cheerios, chocolate covered almonds and almond M&Ms, while rating whole egg fried in butter, cheddar cheese and ground beef as foods that should be avoided. (By JJava Designs/Shutterstock)

 

 It’s pure madness. This Great Reset tool has been designed to hoodwink you into second-guessing everything you thought you knew about healthy food. Move over, cheddar cheese and ground beef – fries, almond M&Ms and Frosted Mini Wheats are about to take your place at the table.

 

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

• The Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy’s Food Compass, unveiled in late 2021, is another Great Reset tool designed to discourage consumption of animal foods by falsely rating them as unhealthy, and encouraging consumption of ultraprocessed foods by giving them high nutritional ratings
• Food Compass rates Frosted Mini Wheats as three times healthier than ground beef, with a score of 87 out of 100, compared to 26 for ground beef
• Food Compass also gives high scores to fries, Lucky Charms, Honey Nut Cheerios, chocolate covered almonds and almond M&Ms, while rating whole egg fried in butter, cheddar cheese and ground beef as foods that should be avoided. Based on this tool, you’ll be healthier if you replace whole egg, cheddar cheese and ground beef with candy
• Studies have repeatedly shown that diets high in processed foods lead to poor health and depression, and the more processed your diet is, the greater your risk of obesity and chronic diseases that shave years, if not decades, off your life span
• Health, food security, independence and freedom are what the global elitists, led by the World Economic Forum, intend to destroy so that they can then roll out a new food system based entirely on patented, processed imitation foods, including lab-grown and plant- or fungi-based “meats” and “clean, green” protein alternatives such as cricket meal and mealworms

In recent months, I’ve dedicated many articles to exposing the intentional destruction of our food system. The decision of the Dutch government to impose nitrogen pollution restrictions on farmers is but one example of this. This “green” policy will cut livestock production in the country by 30% in the next year, put farmers out of business, and force them to sell their land.

Since The Netherlands is the largest meat exporter in the European Union,¹ it will also result in meat shortages around the world. According to Dutch Parliament member Thierry Baudet,² this “green” policy is really a thinly veiled excuse for a land grab.

The government is following the script of The Great Reset, he says, which requires weakening the country, making it more dependent on food imports, and diluting nationalism by taking in more immigrants. And, to make room for immigrant housing, they need to take land from the farmers.

At the same time, Bill Gates is buying up high-priced farmland³ and telling the world to transition from beef to lab-grown meat alternatives. Insect farms to create human protein alternatives are also being set up and promoted,⁴ farms and food facilities are mysteriously being burnt to the ground at surprising frequency,^5,6 and the Rockefeller Foundation is calling for restructuring the whole food system⁷ to make it more “fair and equitable.”

These things are not happening by chance. It’s all part of a plan to eliminate naturally-grown foods so they can then be replaced with patented foodstuffs, which this “New World Order” cabal of course owns.

 

Food Compass to Further Destroy Nutrition Guidance

The hidden globalist cabal has been busy undermining health for decades, and if you want an example of what I’m talking about, look no further than the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy’s Food Compass,⁸ unveiled in late 2021. As explained by Tufts Now:⁹

“A scientific team at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts has developed a new tool to help consumers, food companies, restaurants, and cafeterias choose and produce healthier foods and officials to make sound public nutrition policy.

Food Compass is a new nutrient profiling system, developed over three years, that incorporates cutting-edge science on how different characteristics of foods positively or negatively impact health … The new Food Compass system was developed and then tested using a detailed national database of 8,032 foods and beverages consumed by Americans.

It scores 54 different characteristics across nine domains representing different health-relevant aspects of foods, drinks, and mixed meals, providing for one of the most comprehensive nutrient profiling systems in the world.

The characteristics and domains were selected based on nutritional attributes linked to major chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and cancer, as well as to risk of undernutrition, especially for mothers, young children, and the elderly … Potential uses of Food Compass include:

• Encouraging the food industry to develop healthier foods and reformulate the ingredients in popular processed foods and snacks;
• Providing food purchasing incentives for employees through worksite wellness, health care, and nutrition assistance programs;
• Supplying the science for local and national policies such as package labeling, taxation, warning labels, and restrictions on marketing to children;
• Enabling restaurants and school, business, and hospital cafeterias to present healthier food options;
• Informing agricultural trade policy; and
• Guiding institutional and individual investors on environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) investment decisions”

All of that sounds good, in theory. The problem is, Food Compass clearly was not created to guide people toward optimal health through nutrition. Its primary purpose is to lead people away from wholesome natural foods, toward processed junk foods.

Absurd Food Ranking Tool to Mislead the Masses

While the food score example¹⁰ given by Tufts Now is not overly heinous, a deeper dive into the system reveals serious problems. Case in point: Frosted Mini Wheats scores three times higher than ground beef (87 out of 100, compared to 26), as illustrated in the graph below, posted on Twitter by independent journalist Nina Teicholz.¹¹

The fact that “egg substitute fried in vegetable oil” gets a score above zero is a frightening demonstration of their fundamental nutrition ignorance of the foundational fact that excessive omega-6 fats in the form of industrially processed seed oils are the most pernicious poisons in the food supply. The high scores of fries, Lucky Charms, Honey Nut Cheerios, chocolate covered almonds and almond M&Ms certainly don’t help.

Who in their right mind can believe M&Ms are healthier than whole food — any whole food? According to Food Compass, anything with a score below 30 should be minimized, so based on this tool, you’ll be healthier if you replace whole egg, cheddar cheese and ground beef with literal candy, which is nothing short of insanity.

Based on this tool, government would also be justified in restricting marketing of beef, egg and cheese to children, while schools could be encouraged to load M&Ms into school lunches. The whole thing is absurd and indefensible.

In a July 25, 2022, Substack article,¹² Teicholz also pointed out that one of the creators of Food Compass, Dariush Mozaffarian, dean of the Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, is also part of the development team for the White House conference on nutrition, scheduled to take place in September 2022. As noted by Teicholz, this doesn’t bode well:

“The Food Compass, which gives top ratings to Cheerios, Lucky Charms and Cocoa Puffs, is absurd on the face of it. In all, nearly 70 brand-named cereals from General Mills, Kellogg’s, and Post are ranked twice as high as eggs cooked in butter or a piece of plain, whole-wheat toast …

What kind of dystopian world has nutrition “science” entered into whereby a university, a peer-reviewed journal, and one of the field’s most influential leaders legitimize advice telling the public to eat more Lucky Charms and fewer eggs? Simply eyeballing these recommendations should be enough to know this diet is a get-sick, diabetes diet, a high-carb, sugar-laden, candy-coated highway to ill-health …

Since Mozaffarian is widely credited with being the driving force behind the upcoming White House conference, his views on nutrition are worth examining. If he and his team at Tufts really think Frosted Mini Wheats are a super food, there’s clearly reason to have some concerns about the outcome of this event.”

Reductionist Assumptions Can Be Disastrous

In an undated white paper, eight authors review “the limitations of the Food Compass Nutrient Profiling System.” As noted in the abstract:¹³

“Nutrient Profiling Systems provide algorithms which are designed to assess the healthfulness of foods based on nutrient composition, and intended as a strategy to improve diets.

Many Nutrient Profiling Systems are founded on a reductionist assumption that the healthfulness of foods is determined by the sum of their nutrients, with little consideration for the extent and purpose of processing and its health implications.

A novel Nutrient Profiling System called Food Compass attempted to address existing gaps and provide a more holistic assessment of the healthfulness of foods.

While a conceptually impressive effort, we propose that the chosen algorithm is not well justified and produces results that fail to discriminate for common shortfall nutrients, exaggerate the risks associated with animal-source foods, and underestimate the risks associated with ultra-processed foods.

We caution against the use of Food Compass in its current form to inform consumer choices, policies, programs, industry reformulations, and investment decisions.”

The team correctly stresses that “health is not determined by the consumption of single foods but rather by overall diet quality.” Of crucial importance is whether a food has been processed, and what kind of processing it has undergone.

“Food processing is not invariably benign,” the authors write, noting that “While acknowledging there is a large variation in the health effects of different types of ultra-processed foods (UPF), in general the higher the share of UPF in the diet the higher the risk of non-communicable diseases.”

There’s absolutely no shortage of studies^{14,15,16,17,18,19} showing that diets high in processed foods lead to poor health and depression, and the more processed your diet is, the worse your health and the greater your risk of obesity and chronic diseases that shave years, if not decades, off your life span.

In my references, I’ve included several studies published in 2020, 2021 and 2022, but similar findings have been published for decades. Remember, in most processed foods seeds oils are the highest percentage of calories.

Ultraprocessed Diets Lead to an Early Grave

For example, a February 2021 study²⁰ found those with the highest intakes of ultraprocessed food were, on average, 58% more likely to die of cardiovascular disease compared to those with the lowest intake, 52% more likely to die of ischemic heart disease, and 26% more likely to die from any cause.

As noted by the authors, “These findings should serve as an incentive for limiting consumption of UPF, and encouraging natural or minimally processed foods …” Another meta-analysis, also published in February 2021, found:²¹

“… the highest UPF consumption was associated with a significant increase in the risk of overweight/obesity (+39 %), high waist circumference (+39 %), low HDL-cholesterol levels (+102 %) and the metabolic syndrome (+79 %) …

For prospective cohort studies evaluating a total population of 183,491 participants followed for a period ranging from 3·5 to 19 years, highest UPF consumption was found to be associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality in five studies (risk ratio (RR) 1·25…), increased risk of CVD in three studies (RR 1·29…), cerebrovascular disease in two studies (RR 1·34…) and depression in two studies (RR 1·20…).

In conclusion, increased UPF consumption was associated … with a worse cardiometabolic risk profile and a higher risk of CVD, cerebrovascular disease, depression and all-cause mortality.”

As detailed in “Ultraprocessed Food Makes You Vulnerable to COVID-19,” a processed food diet is precisely the wrong choice at a time when infectious disease is widespread, as it causes metabolic dysfunction, impairs your gut microbiome and harms your immune system.

Food Compass — Another ‘Great Reset’ Tool

Despite such evidence, Food Compass’ algorithms encourage consumption of ultraprocessed foods, while strongly discouraging consumption of all animal foods, including saturated animal fats.

So, this tool — just as the Dutch effort to get rid of livestock farmers — is really all about eliminating animal foods from the average person’s diet. And why? Because the ultra-rich elitists who want to rule the world don’t want you to eat real food, be healthy and live long. They want you to be dependent on their processed and patented foods so that you’ll be under their control.

If you get sick, they’ll clean out your bank account to treat you, and if you die sooner rather than later, all the better. They think there are far too many useless eaters on the planet as it is, and humans will soon become even more expendable as artificial intelligence and robotics take over.

Saturated Fats Do Not Cause Disease

The fact that saturated animal fats continue to be demonized is a testament to the fact that current “nutritional science” is not based on actual science. It’s based on ancient, outdated assumptions that have long since been debunked and proven wrong.

Real-world data also do not support the notion that saturated fats harm your health by clogging arteries and promoting heart disease. This was yet again highlighted in a systematic review in the Frontiers of Nutrition, published in January 2022, which analyzed dietary trends and food consumption data in the U.S. from 1800 until 2019:²²

“Processed and ultra-processed foods increased from <5 to >60% of foods. Large increases occurred for sugar, white and whole wheat flour, rice, poultry, eggs, vegetable oils, dairy products, and fresh vegetables. Saturated fats from animal sources declined while polyunsaturated fats from vegetable oils rose.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) rose over the twentieth century in parallel with increased consumption of processed foods, including sugar, refined flour and rice, and vegetable oils. Saturated fats from animal sources were inversely correlated with the prevalence of NCDs.”

Looking back again at the Food Compass chart above, “egg substitute fried in vegetable oil” is listed as having a nutritional rating of 62 out of 100, while whole egg fried in butter gets a suboptimal rating of 29. These two examples are basically inverted.

In my view, vegetable oils — also referred to as seed oils — are the single most dangerous food component there is, exponentially worse than sugar even, and a key metabolic driver of obesity, heart disease, cancer and most all chronic disease.^{23,24,25,26,27,28,29}

One of the reasons these oils are so harmful is because they’re loaded with linoleic acid (LA). When consumed in excess — and you really don’t need much LA — it acts as a metabolic poison, damaging your metabolism and impeding your body’s ability to generate energy in your mitochondria. I’ve discussed the ins and outs of this in many previous articles. For a refresher, see “How Linoleic Acid Wrecks Your Health.”

Saturated fats such as butter and red meat, on the other hand, are rich in important micronutrients that are hard to obtain elsewhere. In fact, foods high in saturated fats are among the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, and these nutrients are also highly bioavailable.

Interestingly, research³⁰ published in 2020 even found that high saturated fat intake was associated with lower COVID-19 mortality, while high intake of unsaturated fats raised that risk.

Nutritional Guideline to Limit Saturated Fat Was All Wrong

In mid-June 2020, we even had a paper³¹ in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology that admitted the long-standing nutritional guideline to limit saturated fat has been incorrect, and ought to be changed. As noted in the abstract:

“The recommendation to limit dietary saturated fatty acid (SFA) intake has persisted despite mounting evidence to the contrary. Most recent meta-analyses of randomized trials and observational studies found no beneficial effects of reducing SFA intake on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and total mortality, and instead found protective effects against stroke.

Although SFAs increase low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, in most individuals, this is not due to increasing levels of small, dense LDL particles, but rather larger LDL which are much less strongly related to CVD risk.

It is also apparent that the health effects of foods cannot be predicted by their content in any nutrient group, without considering the overall macronutrient distribution.

Whole-fat dairy, unprocessed meat, eggs and dark chocolate are SFA-rich foods with a complex matrix that are not associated with increased risk of CVD. The totality of available evidence does not support further limiting the intake of such foods.”

They’re Coming for Your Food, Your Wealth and Your Freedom

Acknowledging that saturated animal fats are healthy, and that processed industrial seed oils and processed grains are not, would decimate the processed food industry, as it relies on cheap seed oils and grains. The healthy alternative is real food, and there’s no big industry profits to be made from that.

The same goes for unprocessed animal foods in general. They can’t be patented, and just about anyone with enough land can raise their own food and become partially, if not fully, independent of major food conglomerates.

Health, food security, independence and freedom are what the global elitists, led by the World Economic Forum, intend to destroy so that they can then roll out a new food system based entirely on patented, processed imitation foods, including lab-grown and plant- or fungi-based ‘meats’ and ‘clean, green’ protein alternatives such as cricket meal and mealworms.

All of this — health, food security, independence and freedom — are what the global elitists, led by the World Economic Forum, intend to destroy so that they can then roll out a new food system based entirely on patented, cheaply-made, ultraprocessed imitation foods, including lab-grown³² and plant-³³ or fungi-based³⁴ meat substitutes and “clean, green” protein alternatives such as cricket meal and mealworms.^35,36

If they get their way, the entire world will go the way of Sri Lanka,³⁷ where new “green” agricultural policies implemented in 2021 resulted in island-wide harvest failures which, combined with simultaneous fuel shortages and national bankruptcy, have led to violent riots and famine. Predictably, the United Nations — which is part of The Great Reset — has stepped in to offer food vouchers to underserved areas.

That’s how the takeover occurs. They destroy your ability to work, make a living and feed yourself, and provide shelter for you and your family, and then they offer to “help” you by making you dependent on them for your most basic needs. It’ll only get worse from there.

The end goal of The Great Reset-pushing elitists is to own everything and control the entire global population through a combination of false flag disasters, social engineering technologies, “green” and “sustainable” development policies, a revamped food system of their own making, and global biosecurity measures.

Unless we want to end up in a slave system we’ll never be able to break free from, we have to resist and reject all of these takeover strategies in whatever form they appear, and start building our own parallel systems on the local level.

This would also include the wholesale rejection of the Food Compass tool, and the rejection of and opposition to any institution that uses it to make nutritional decisions for large numbers of people. It’s not just unreliable. It’s absurd, and a blatant attempt to condition people into embracing an even unhealthier diet than what’s been pushed upon us in decades past.

Another Dire prediction from the Climate Change Crowd.....Sheesh

The Chicken Littles of the Political world were at it again shrieking that the world was warming, and the Polar Bears will die, the world is cooling and there is a new Ice age coming and Oh well lets call it climate change to trick a new generation of idiots. in trouble and if we don't enact it everyone will die.   To me "Climate Change" is environmental Marxism, using the environment to shaft the western based world while China, Pakistan, India and everyone else gets a pass.   Here is the Latest utterance by one of them, I pulled this off Drudge.  I am sure that he makes Washington State proud.




Washington state’s Democratic Governor Jay Inslee warned there was “just 59 days” to save future generations from “an endless cycle of crop-killing droughts one year, and rivers spilling their banks the next.”

Inslee went on a lengthy Twitter rant in efforts to convince the state legislature to pass legislation to tax carbon dioxide emissions. Washington residents voted down Inslee’s last carbon tax plan by a wide margin in 2016.
The state legislature’s session ends in 59 days, on March 8. Democrats have a slim majority in both state legislative chambers.

Inslee wants lawmakers to pass a tax on carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial facilities.
Inslee’s plan would tax carbon dioxide emissions at $20 a ton in 2019, that would gradually rise at 3.5 percent above inflation each following year. Inslee’s office estimates it will raise $3.3 billion over the next four years.
About $950 million would go toward education programs. The rest would go toward green energy programs and research, water infrastructure, wildfire mitigation. Some money would offset taxes or go to poor families.
The plan could raise household electricity prices five percent, and gas prices by about 10 percent, according to official estimates.
Inslee’s first carbon tax plan failed in 2016 after liberal groups couldn’t agree how to spend the revenues it was expected to raise. Inslee also proposed a cap-and-trade program, that both Democrats and Republicans rejected in 2015.
If Inslee’s carbon tax plan passes, the legislation would have no measurable impact on projected future global warming. Indeed, even if the U.S. as a whole stopped emitting, the impact would be extremely small, based on government climate models.

   Here is a link to his Twitter feed and you can see many references to Al Gore in this.

Trump Pulled us out of the Paris agreement....

Well accoording to the angry left, Trump shafted our grand-kids and retreated from the world stage by pulling us out of the Paris accords and they are having an apocalyptic fit from the news and Drudge.

    My attitude......Good!, the climate change is income distribution on a grand scale from the industrialized world to the 3rd world,  The leaders fly around in their jets especially Al the hypocrite Gore and every time he flies somewhere he barfs out more carbon than the average American family does in a year....but somehow we have to be on the hook for it?
      These climate change fanatics think that man controls the weather. Nope. Look up in the sky. See that big yellow ball? That is what controls the weather. Six hundred years ago the planet was warmer than it is now. At that time Greenland was actually green. That is how it got its name. It was self-sufficient. Was the world a worse place back then? Nope. Were there a lot of SUVs and coal fired power plants back then? Nope. Then, the Little Ice Age hit. Greenland was no longer self-sufficient. The climate in Vineland (the part of North America the Vikings visited) was no longer benevolent.
Back in the 70’s the big worry was global cooling as the Environmental fanatics thought we were headed into another ice age. All of the climate models showed it. Now, we’re heating up. Except we are not. That’s why they had to change the name from global warming to global cooling to climate change. "Climate Change" is just a scam to cripple capitalist economies and to scam them into giving money to Third World countries. Of course, that money won’t go to the countries but to their corrupt rulers. The real science deniers are the Climate change crowd who won’t release their raw climate data and refuse to subject it to rigorous scientific testing.
     A volcano spews more CO2 into the atmosphere than man does. And where does this crap that CO2 is bad comes from? It is an essential gas for life on this planet.   I swear these people are the new "Chicken Littles" of the modern age.    The scientist that have bought into the "global warming" scam do it to guarentee funding and if anybody disagrees with them, OMG,,"Heresy" and the offenders are "Tarred and feathered" professionally.  It is like the witch hunts of the modern era, if you disagree with dogma the modern age inquisition pays you a visit.
      Now I will tell what I believe will happen...Trump will revisit this in a few months and make a new deal and then pass it to the senate for ratification as it should have been done in the first place and let the democrats that are in danger of losing their seats vote "Yes" or "No".  This will be constitutionally sound and give him political cover.
