Those who are taking long fossil fueled flights from the U.S. to Paris for this years Conference on the Parties hardest hit
(NY Times) The Obama administration is set to announce that it will require new rules to cut emissions from airplanes, expanding a quest to tackle climate change that has included a string of significant regulations on cars, trucks and power plants.
The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to report as early as Friday its conclusion that greenhouse gas emissions from airplanes endanger human health because they significantly contribute to global warming, although people familiar with the agency’s plans said the announcement could slip into next week.
That announcement, known in legal parlance as an endangerment finding, will prompt a requirement under the Clean Air Act for the agency to issue new regulations to reduce airplane emissions. The agency is expected to limit the rule to commercial aircraft, leaving out small craft and military planes.
Nowhere is it mentioned within the article that this will artificially drive up the cost to the consumer. Will the definition of commercial aircraft include just passenger planes, or will it include planes used to ferry freight as well? If the latter, not only will the cost of taking a plane trip increase, it will increase virtually everything else that comes by plane. Shipping costs will increase, and this could mean that more packages will be sent via truck, putting more vehicles on the road. All for a fake issue pushed by a cult.
Warmists will say “hey, it’s just a tiny increase”. It always is. A tiny increase here, a tiny increase there, more tiny increases. Throw your pennies in a jar and pretty soon you have a nice chunk of change. But, all these tiny increases add as they flow through the entire economy, so those tiny increases become bigger increases, which add to all the increases from all the other “climate change” fees, rules, regs, and laws.
“The Obama administration is set to announce that it will require new rules to cut emissions from airplanes,…”
One question:
That include the chemtrailing planes as well?
