Exporters Warned of Carbon Tax from US

[snoop1130]

 

BANGKOK, Aug 31 (TNA) – Kasikorn Research Center warns Thai exporters to follow up the Clean Competition Act of the United States which will impose carbon-related taxation and can affect exporters.

 

The center said that the US Senate proposed the Clean Competition Act which included “Carbon Pricing” for locally made products and “Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism” (US-CBAM) for imports.

 

The new bill targeted petroleum products and refineries, petrochemical products, fertilizers, hydrogen, cement, adipic acid, steel and stainless steel, aluminum, glass, pulp and paper and ethanol.

Actually, if they want to cull cows for farting, then why not fat people going to Mcd ? They probably fart the same amount. Surely its time now to cull fat people to save the planet along with any diet causing flatulence ?

I believe you're talking about Soylent Green, and if properly prepared, I believe those fatsos could be a good supplement to any healthy diet.

I believe cows produce most methane by burping???? not farting.

Yup CO2 and Methane which are both trace gases, sure need to be taxed on.

  Check the chart. Yes Mars has lots of CO2 but it is so much smaller than Earth, and Venus

is so much closer to the Sun. Just My Opinion

Why so biased?  Get your facts right first.

China is producing 56% of what the USA is producing and India is only 10% of the USA. Russia, Germany, UK and Japan are producing more than India.

Aren't national carbon dioxide emissions something that should be compared on a per capita basis?

NZ is considering taxing farting and belching from farm animals- why not humans as well? After all, they have to pay for all that social election bribe spending.

That's correct, but most probably don't know that, and I doubt they care. To the new generation, meat is something that comes from a supermarket, not farms.

Perhaps, but it could lead to  misleading numbers. Should having an excessive population be rewarded?

There is no denying China is a big polluter, but per capita figures do not reflect that so badly. Reality is, biggest issue is over population of the world.

Of course CO2 emissions should be compared per capita, anything else is ridiculous.
