Europe, Boring Until it's Not

Fife hates free choice. He would rather we stay uninformed because ''government''.
Just to piss him off I'm going to provide him with some information to
dispute without him even knowing the validity of the source.

Obviously they need to grow more bananas, strawberries, and oranges in the UK.

Or...consume fewer foods with high food miles.
Incidentally, we grow shit loads of strawberries but peoples insistence on eating tasteless imports out of season skews the stats.

People can choose to eat strawberries out of season?
THERE SHOULD BE A LAW!

They really need a law preventing them from importing tea leaves! All tea consumer in the UK must be organically grown in the UK! No exceptions under penalty of law!

Nah, a tax will do

Won't anyone think of the poor tax collector's jobs?

Another sign that your nation has become a socialist shit hole - you fret for the fate of the tax collector, but pat yourself on the back for refusing to support anything related to the holiday card sector.

Mao, Stalin, and Fallen Angels worldwide approve.

I don't suppose I've ever mentioned the fact my father was a tax collector. Her Majesty's Customs and Excise officer to be exact.
Tax collectors are people too.

Certainly explains your predilection for supporting complex unelected beaurocracies that want to inject themselves into every aspect of people's lives.

Ask not what your country can do for you...

My father also saw active service against Communists in Malaysia and spent half of his career as a military radar engineer.

Nothing to be ashamed of there.

NYC is 500 square miles of concentrated pollutants upon layer of pollutants over 350 years.

Doesn't the total destruction of Ecosystems mean anything to you ?
Do you think you can just ignore that level of pollution and environmental destruction on a per capita number ?

I’m not the one with the big ideas, you ought to make a sensible case before advocating public policy. Why would we green tax people more, or abolish their lifestyle if their lifestyle might be more carbon efficient? And how recent does an ecosystem have to have been destroyed for it to be taxable? Should people living in downtown Manhattan now indefinitely pay for ecosystems destroyed hundreds of years ago? Doesn’t seem like you’ve thought this one through.

Actually the big ideas come from the global warming crowd, I'm just following their logic. The public policy of advocating for higher climate taxes is the policy of the globalists with things like the Kyoto and Paris Climate Accords, folks around the world have reacted like you at the idea of climate taxes targeted at them ...………. see Gilets Jaunes.

I find no honest evidence that rural folks have a larger carbon footprint than urban folks, actually just the opposite. I'm linking below a couple online carbon footprint calculators, one from the EPA.
You'll find that it's all about consumption, there is no factor for carbon storage, carbon storage the rural communities are very, very strong on. Essentially, by not calculating carbon storage as well as carbon footprint they've rigged the outcome.

Climate change policy is big on Carbon Storage, it part of all the global policies out there. Nations are able to take advantage of it to offset their carbon footprint, big corporations are able to take advantage of it to offset their carbon footprint...……………… but rural folks are not, why ?


Hastur called it correctly, it's a rigged game about money.
