the problem i have with this news, Repenus, is not the carbon trading scheme in principal, althigz experiences in the EU show that it is very very far from the service record it was thought it would produce, it is indeed quite ineffective for a number of reasons that already are anchored int he vvery way it was designed to be managed.

Then problem I have is that here they now want to create carbon schemes not on companies, countries or comparable entities, but on the single individual private person, with all the implications of that. I using some imaginative thought on the very idea, it is hilarious. It is a typical PC poltical populism and hectic acivism without thoroughly thinking about whether or not it will do what is claimed it will do. Add it tighhtens bureaucratic control over the individual and subjugating it to the overall tyranny that is spreading in the name of growing EU democracy.

Now that the Lisbon dicates has passed, imemdiately the EU commission starts top claim even more gioths and powers for itself. They now want to tax European people (household, private persons) directly, as if the EU is a legitimate government and sovereign state in itself. That way they want to bypass oposition by local governments that threaten to weaken the commission by withholding payments.
