Yeah… You read that right.
There is a plan in the works for all British citizens to be given a unique I.D. number tying said citizen to a personal ‘carbon allowance’. Quoting from a story on Telegraph.co.uk:
Lord Smith of Finsbury believes that implementing individual carbon allowances for every person will be the most effective way of meeting the targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
It would involve people being issued with a unique number which they would hand over when purchasing products that contribute to their carbon footprint, such as fuel, airline tickets and electricity.
Like with a bank account, a statement would be sent out each month to help people keep track of what they are using.
If their “carbon account” hits zero, they would have to pay to get more credits.
Those who are frugal with their carbon usage will be able to sell their unused credits and make a profit.
‘His Pin-Headship’, the Lord Smith, plans to call for the scheme to be part of a “Green New Deal” to be introduced within 20 years when he addresses the agency’s annual conference on Monday. Meanwhile, some un-named ‘Environment Agency spokesman’ was reported to have said that “…only those with extravagant lifestyles would be affected by the carbon allowances“. Sound familiar? “Extravagant lifestyles”, riiiight! Those of us who have not yet buried our heads in the sand know how that will work out. The tax threshold will drop year-by-bloody-year until every single citizen of the UK is under the thumb and paying their hard-earned Euros into a governmental slush fund. All in the name of the psudo-science of ‘Global Warming’ – an idea that is coming apart at the seams on a daily basis as the true facts come to light.
If our friends across the pond were to take a close look at how our “New Deal” has turned out, then they would run – not walk – out into the streets and burn these liberal morons in Parliment in effigy.
Given the current state of leadership, (or should The Bull say “non-leadership”), in the United States it is only a matter of time until the same is proposed by one of our ‘esteemed’ Nobel Prize winners – All Gore or B. H. Obama. That is what really turns my stomach!
America IS awakening to the dangers of these Liberal idiots. Perhaps we will fully awaken in time. Perhaps not. Sadly, it looks to be too late for the United Kingdom. (I hope they prove me wrong!)
Bull, out!
