The European Union is poised to fully implement the world's first carbon border tax from Jan 1st...The EU is poised to implement the climate policy as part of an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote cleaner production processes outside the bloc.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnbc.com ...
Quote from CNBC link: "Under the terms of the policy, importers bringing these goods into the EU will be required to purchase CBAM certificates to cover their associated emissions."
In the USA, we call this "Carbon Credits."
For some reason, the CNBC article does not explain that exporters to the EU will just add the Carbon Credit cost into the price of their goods, and European customers will have to pay 100% of their own Green Tariffs.
Fine. No more exports to Europe. No more travel to Europe. I hope it makes them happy.
It’s a scam...................
Yup.
Trump should tell Europe that we’re removing all of our carbon spewing military bases out of Europe and let them protect themselves from Russia and China and Iran.
Sure sounds like a tariff to me. Time to up the tariffs on The EU.
Damn. I’ll never get the parts for my e bike - which come from Germany. Bike has been in the shop since early July waiting waiting waiting for parts.
Net Zero the scam
The climate BS is everything to the left in general and the rats in particular. Unlimited control, power and funding.
Basically another tariff.
They do not like Trump’s tariffs, so they should eliminate theirs!
Annnnd that is the whole reason for the whole “Man caused c,imate change” LIE! WEALTH! PLAIN AND SIMple. The feckless scam artists don’t even try to hide it anymore! Anyone i, europe who complains will apparently be arrested too-
Yurp governance — the textbook definition of “stuck on stupid”.
Would love 5o have one for around town travel in summer, bu5 man those batteries scare the bejeebers outa me. We had a cell phone battery pop and spark once when i tried to charge it-m5hankfully it didnt erupt, but got rid of the battery right away. Ive seen videos of ebike batteries goingmup in flames, and its pretty scary stuff
They're on a fast clipper ship. Should be here any day now.
Once again, we see the oligarch-banker controlled (and energy poor) Davos (and rump UK empire in London) attempting to gain control of, and manipulate, other countries' economies
Carbon trading is an ingenious new kind of counterfeiting. It is a financial derivative, created from nothing, but linked to human's most basic activity - the use of energy in production. Whether you fry an egg in your home, or run a giant steel mill, you expend energy - and EU oligarchs want to create counterfeit money linked to that activity.
>> importers bringing these goods into the EU will be required to purchase CBAM certificates to cover their associated emissions
I can’t wait to see what President Trump and his VERY competent team come up with to screw Yurp to the wall over this idiocy.
Fine. No more exports to Europe. No more travel to Europe

Most don’t realize just how bad the EU’s debt problem is, they are in negotiations with the IMF for a bailout….default and collapse is their single most worry.
That said, they suspended the Schengen ( visa) program, and now requiring US citizens to have a Visa to travel to the EU….but yet they keep writing checks ($$$ billions) to Ukraine….I find it amusing they tried to destroy Russia, but in the process ( 18 Sanction packages) they collapse instead!
Shooting their staggering economy in the foot.
Yet the EU countries will continue to import fossil fuels from Russia. Just a money grab from the socialists running Europe. Won’t do a damn thing to lower carbon emissions.

Bottom line? The EU is collapsing, for many reasons.
