International climate [hoax] policy director at the National Resources Defense Council: Pulling $60 out of your pocket for a CO2 scam tax will put extra money in your pocket

House Writes a Bill to Excuse U.S. Carriers - NYTimes.com

Estimates of how much the new program will add to a trans-Atlantic ticket price vary widely, from a few dollars to around $60, in part because the cost depends on how well a particular airline improves its environmental performance.

Jake Schmidt, international climate policy director at the National Resources Defense Council, pointed out that the extra charge is similar to what American passengers pay for checking baggage on domestic flights.

“The E.U. program will provide an incentive for airlines to find the best way to reduce their fuel use and encourage them to purchase the most efficient aircraft that are already rolling off the production line,” he said. “These are investments that will spur savings to American consumers as U.S.-based carriers improve the efficiency of their aged fleet.”
