To prevent this sinister tax, the White House should announce a set of retaliation measures. This could include a dollar-for-dollar reduction in U.S. payments to NATO, the U.N., IMF and World Bank. No foreign money should be directed to any nation that votes for this assault on American ships.

I agree with this.

Who would get the tax money?

“Climate change tax” - Payment to The Syndicate

...the global tax would cost American shippers more than $100 billion over the next seven years if enacted.

Wrong! It will cost consumers $100 billion. The next question to ask is who gets the money and what will be done with it. The pat answer: It will go to climate change. Of the billions already spent on climate change, what the result? Nothing! Nada! Bupkis, other than making millions for a bunch of phony NGOs.

Where is the authority?

I take it this is not a measure the US can veto?

While I have nothing against cleaner air it just seems like the effort from the concerned Really Big money hasn't been noticeably proportional since the obama administration.

I don't know; it's almost like that hillery crinton announcement about taking from US and giving it to others had a self fulfilling component built in.

Have they chosen to oppose US in favor of socialism with an UNdeclared dismantlement of the Republic?

Many of you are well enough off that... the tax cuts may have helped you... We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.

The expanded Roadmap will include China’s power, steel, and cement sectors—three of the nation’s largest consumers of coal. In Hong Kong, Civic Exchange, a public policy think tank, led the way on a multi-sectoral initiative to reduce emissions from local ports. Dirty diesel engines in trucks, locomotives, cargo-handling equipment, and ships are at the heart of port pollution problems that affect entire airsheds. Particulate pollution from diesel engines is especially toxic, and such engines also emit large quantities of black carbon, a climate pollutant. Now, in collaboration with ADM Capital Foundation (also Hong Kong based) and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC),Civic Exchange is helping to expand this clean ports initiative to the greater Pearl River Delta in Southern China. NRDC’s pioneering programs to reduce pollution at ports in Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Oakland, California, as well as New York and New Jersey, were the inspiration for this effort.

“These are both incredibly daunting times and times of unprecedented opportunity in China,” according to Shenyu Belsky, who directs the Fund’s grantmaking program in Southern China. “What’s been most exciting to see is how China’s civil society sector has been stepping up—playing roles in policy advocacy, encouraging information disclosure, finding channels to increase public participation. The RBF is moving as quickly as possible to keep pace with the dynamism in this sector, by supporting and helping to amplify the impact of key organizations’ foresight, engagement, and initiative.”

Meanwhile, https://calmatters.org/environment/2025/03/port-communities-air-pollution-plan-los-angeles-long-beach/ apparently fell into the 'News We Can't Use' category; that is, until we learn China is once again years ahead of US. Is anyone getting suspicious yet?
