Now this global warming bullshit is just getting more and more ridiculous every day. Mike sent me this article from the UK.
Every adult should be forced to use a 'carbon ration card' when they pay for petrol, airline tickets or household energy, MPs say.The influential Environmental Audit Committee says a personal carbon trading scheme is the best and fairest way of cutting Britain's CO2 emissions without penalising the poor.
Under the scheme, everyone would be given an annual carbon allowance to use when buying oil, gas, electricity and flights.
Petrol.
GMAFB! A stupid idea to address a nonexistent problem. WTF is the matter with these idiots?
Anyone who exceeds their entitlement would have to buy top-up credits from individuals who haven't used up their allowance. The amount paid would be driven by market forces and the deal done through a specialist company.
A company prolly owned by Pope Albert I of the Church of AGW.
MPs, led by Tory Tim Yeo, say the scheme could be more effective at cutting greenhouse gas emissions than green taxes.But critics say the idea is costly, bureaucratic, intrusive and unworkable.
How true. Like I said: A stupid idea to address a nonexistent problem.

You live by the grace of your sovereign. You've now taken your allotted ration of breaths, today.

But more important, a stupid idea to punish the weatlthy for contributing to what makes the economy go round. Fools, every last one of them.
CO2 on Mars = 95% of the atmosphere.
CO2 on Earth = .0032% of our atmosphere.
The discussion is over.
The sheeple need to stop, esp. the media dupes.
Holy Shit Willie, you just deduced the reason for no more life on Mars. The martians drove their SUV's too much and flew around in their flying saucers until the CO2 level got so high they went extinct. Oh my Lord, we are on the same path to that end. The horror of it all.
George Orwell sure picked the right country.
