Hoping this is on Trump’s targeting list for reducing of funds. As far as I care, the UN can setup shop in Paris.

MARPOL is a treaty with a series of Amendments. It was supposedly adopted to protect the marine environment from pollution by ships. The bureaucrats are holding that atmospheric carbon dioxide is a pollutant of the marine environment. The amount of carbon arising from maritime shipping is minuscule compared to land transportation and electrical power generation.

$100 per ton, really? Can't accuse them of modesty.

IOW, it's a ruse for a money laundering scheme.

What does the U.N. plan to do with the funds collected, other than make connected individuals wealthy and fund corrupt Leftist programs?

President Trump should tell the U.N. one word: No.

How about illegal, unconstitutional and another reason to ditch the UN. This is nothing less than globalist piracy. They are no better than Somalian pirates.

It’s going to encourage yet more at home manufacturing and boost our economy.

It won’t hurt us like they expect it to.

The next Globohomo President would enforce it. The countries with the largest economies would pay for it, meaning US. Developing and Muslim countries would be exempt. The Chinese would find a way around it.

I’m impressed at how environmental concerns have become so perverted that this could even have been proposed.

Trump should just re-label his tariffs as a carbon tax.
