Europeans are too degraded to do what should be done. They will knuckle under.

So a new tax will stop global warming? What if it turns into global cooling? Will they pay you to burn more fuel?

More like reparations to the rich. The common people must pay for the sin of existing.

What if the individuals just set the forests on fire to warm up the country?

That will definitely hurt foreign tourism.

Aren't we taxed every time we fill-up our car, pay our utility taxes?

It has never been about global warming/cooling. It has always been about maintaining their socialist lifestyle.
What do you think Biden’s decision is to destroy our energy industry? The decision to impoverish the US so that it may fit in with the rest of the world. In better days we would call it high treason.

Is there a mutual fund that invests in rope futures?

It’s a short hop from this to a breathing tax.

Wait ‘till they extend this to food and retail items. Every consumer product offered for sale in the EU will have a net carbon score attached. (Calculating this will provide lifetime employment for another army of bureaucrats, which the EU will regard as a plus.) The carbon score will be added at the cash register when the sale is rung up. Choose the beef and get hit with a walloping tax. Choose the powdered insects and tofu, and your tax will be minimal.

But don’t dare complain too loudly, because complaints will be logged by the smart device that you will be required to carry and will be entered into your social credit score.

What’s the carbon tax on 5grams of gunpowder pushing a high velocity 6mm round. (Swedish Mauser since it’s the EU)

I’ve been saying all along, the only thing that will discourage these climate lunatics is if everyone in the affected country burns a couple of tires on a given day in protest.

Yeah, unlike those brave Americans who tacitly accepted a blatantly stolen presidential election, accepted a rerun of that steal (on a slightly smaller scale) in 2022, who allow sick men dressed as women, many of whom who are pedophiles and other sex offenders, to "entertain" children in libraries without repercussions, who allow circus clown "educators" to instruct grammar school children in the gay "arts," (and to do so graphically), who sit back and mindlessly watch sports and dumbass, often vile, "entertainment" on Netflix and ossify their minds by staring at stupid bullshit on a smartphone while in Vermont "doctors" can now legally murder babies up until the moment of birth and other "doctors" pump young people full of poisonous, body and mind-destroying cocktails and then hack off their breasts, vaginas and penises - all without repercussions.

And then, of course, unlike all the pussified Europeans, the badass, brave Americans are often holding massive, edgy street demonstrations to oppose tyrannical Federal "law enforcement" agencies, a self-serving, tyrannical political class and the maggot-infested media that when not gaslighting and blatantly lying to the American people is helping target, censor, and destroy anyone who oppose its leftist/globalist masters' crazy and demonic social and economic policies.

Yeah, all the brave Americans are really showing those ball-less Europeans how to stand up and fight against tyranny!!

What Europeans voted for this?

And 100% guaranteed these taxes will not apply to the rapefugees living on the dole

I have no disagreement with that. I just didn’t feel like ragging on Americans today.

I love it. The unelected EU criminals are going to tax the unwashed masses for breathing (CO2 exhales).

"The plan could not come at a worse time because grocery prices are skyrocketing, and world leaders are warning about an oncoming food crisis caused by supply disruptions caused by the war in Ukraine and rising input costs resulting from the energy crisis."

I suspect there are future profits to be made in publishing recipes for meals made from world leaders. Buffoon Helper will appear in grocers catalogs to join or replace Hamburger, Tuna, Chicken or Pork.

shhh, don’t ruin the narrative. Though this is the dreaded carbon tax. Like all ‘sin’ taxes this one will be paid and the revenue will not do anything but fund pork barrel reelection projects.

They’d be better off to set the bureaucrats on fire.🤔
