If carbon dioxide is now “pollution,” then how long until the government decides to fine the peasants for breathing?
The European Union reached a deal in the early hours of Wednesday on a law to increase the price that airlines have to pay when they emit planet-heating carbon dioxide emissions, adding pressure to the sector to shift away from fossil fuels.
Airlines running flights within Europe currently have to submit permits from the EU’s carbon market to cover their carbon dioxide emissions, but the EU gives them most of those permits for free.
That is set to change under the law agreed by negotiators from EU countries and the European Parliament, which would phase out those free permits by 2026, sources familiar with the discussions told Reuters.
That will mean airlines will have to pay for their CO2 permits, providing a financial incentive for them to pollute less.
It’s shocking they have the nerve to use the word “pollution” for CO2. I’m shocked by it. This is actually new. They always up the ante, but I’m certain they weren’t calling it “pollution” even last year.

Remember those “I have the pussy, I make the rules” t-shirts?
I’m not sure if that person has a pussy, actually. Who can say anymore? It definitely has a can of soup.
