What’s Al Gore going to do now? He really needed that money to buy Tipper a pony.

I’m still trying to figure out how paying money “offsets” carbon in the atmosphere especially when it already comprimises a zero point zero percentage such as CO2 which only makes up 0.04%. If they “offset” it anymore to 0.02% plants start dying then all life except for Al Gore because he is a God. What do they do, send up trillions of carbon eating nanobots? Do they join togther and make a salute sign and say “Reporting for duty” like John Kerry before they start?

Those EUnuchs have not been trying to strongarm US airlines into paying their stupid tax, have they?

More in common than we think. Do you think the EU countries would note that the two most powerful countries think the EU carbon plan is for fools?
Fools.

Yes they have. The EU’s top court, the so-called “Court of Justice” ruled against the USA already (back before Christmas) in a suit brought to stop the airline carbon tax.

Tipper is no longer a going concern of his, unless a pony was part of the divorce settlement.

Apparently the airlines of a Communist nation are now one of the few willing to say no to the corrupt alliance of Big Enviro and Big Government. Incredible.

China will fight this Euro tax scam and win. Meanwhile, Delta will charge its passengers more per ticket to pay it. No one should fly Delta.
To: Olog-hai
China could refuse to fly to Briton and refuse flights from Briton. Problem solved for now.

Um, where is “Briton” and what has it got to do with this story?
To: Caulkhead
Just woke up. Britain or UK take your pick.

I don’t think that China will put up with the NWO banks telling them what to do. China is building to be much more agressive. World War is coming soon.

Just wondered why you focused on Britain and not the other 26 EU countries really?
Hopefully we’ll soon be able to describe the UK as an ex-EU country soon! :D
To: Olog-hai
The rest of the world—like China, should tell the EU to shove their tax up their rectum.
