The UN is considering imposing a tax on air travel on “wealthy” countries. This tax is supposed to raise money for the supposed climate change crisis. In reality, this is a dangerous precedent of an international body imposing itself on sovereign nations.
Levy on international air travel could fund climate change fight
Britain and other rich countries will be asked to accept a compulsory levy on international flight tickets and shipping fuel to raise billions of dollars to help the world’s poorest countries adapt to combat climate change.
The suggestions come at the start of the second week in the latest round of UN climate talks in Bonn, where 192 countries are starting to negotiate a global agreement to limit and then reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The issue of funding for adaptation is critical to success but the hardest to agree.
The aviation levy, which is expected to increase the price of long-haul fares by less than 1%, would raise $10bn (£6.25bn) a year, it is said.
This is unconstitutional and America should not participate. We are a sovereign nation and it is our legislative body that should implement tax policy. Off course, now that we have a government controlled by International Socialists, they have no problem taking orders from the UN.
