well I guess we know that the EU wants to make American and Canadian airlines in the next 10 years spend $500 billion dollers on EU carbon credits to bail them out.
We should impose the same thing on their airlines since a boeing 747-400 or the Airbus A380 are flown by both Europe and North American internationa carriers and well they run the same engines and create the exact same emissions.
This is a total scam and the EU is hitting when most US and Candian Airlines are on the brink of going broke or needing a bailout from tax payers again.
The European high court has rejected a legal challenge from Canadian, U.S., and other international carriers opposing the European Union’s plans to include the aviation industry in its emissions trading scheme at the start of next year.
The International Air Transport Association, which represents 230 of the world’s largest airlines, said it was disappointed by the decision.
“Unilateral, extra-territorial and market distorting initiatives such as the EU ETS are not the way forward. What is needed is a global approach,” said Tony Tyler, IATA director general, in a statement.
