New Study Proposes Tracking & Limiting An Individual’s Carbon Emissions

WASHINGTON, July 7 (Reuters) – To fairly divide the climate change fight between rich and poor, a new study suggests basing targets for emission cuts on the number of wealthy people, who are also the biggest greenhouse gas emitters, in a country.
Since about half the planet’s climate-warming emissions come from less than a billion of its people, it makes sense to follow these rich folks when setting national targets to cut carbon dioxide emissions, the authors wrote on Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The study suggests setting a uniform international cap on how much carbon dioxide each person could emit in order to limit global emissions; since rich people emit more, they are the ones likely to reach or exceed this cap, whether they live in a rich country or a poor one.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
By counting the emissions of all the individuals likely to exceed this level, world leaders could provide target emissions cuts for each country. Currently, the world average for individual annual carbon emissions is about 5 tons; each European produces 10 tons and each American produces 20 tons.
With international climate talks set to start this week in Italy among the countries that pollute the most, the authors hope policymakers will look at the strong link between how rich people are and how much carbon dioxide they emit.
Is this a limousine-and-yacht tax on the rich? Not necessarily, Shoibal Chakravarty (Princeton Environment Institute) said, but he did not rule it out: “We are not by any means proposing that. If some country finds a way of doing that, it’s great.”

Yet another great idea! Let’s track the whole herd and individual herd members too. These folks who propose such things probably couldn’t find their own ass with both hands or pour water out of a boot if the instructions were on the bottom.

Why you un-American scum! We’ve got to do what the gov’t wants us to do right now, unless you want to get hit again like on 9/11.
You conspira-loons always think everyone’s out to get you. Well, I’m in the military, and I can tell you that right now there’s a lot more happening behind the scenes that the people are not able to understand, and we all just need to shut the hell up and do what we’re told. Unless, that is, you’re with the terrorists.
I think that you people that refuse to go along need to be locked away to save the rest of us who are sane. I pray our leader has the courage to do what he needs to do to those who would criticize the agenda and put our great nation at risk.

Yes I agree, I sold my sole to the evil psychopathic elite and I have been paid and programmed to sell things this way.
Sometimes i get flash backs and revert to normal but when they become aware they just increase my programming. I know 911 was an inside job – but I ********************* bleep***********

What does tracking carbon emissions have to do with terrorism? Even if there is a link, you are getting stupider by the post.

ha ha. you sad man. Lets face it you’re too dumb to know what is going on around you and NEED to be told what to do and WANT deparately to believe what you are told. Enjoy your ignorance! However, I do agree that some of the ideas aired on this site are total crap (comments that is) but it gives people the chance to say what they think which is what being free is all about

The government is to blame for all of the carbon polution. Free energy has been hidden from us for 60-70 years. Check out Tesla and the way that Edison and Carnegie ran him out of town… They have been keeping us oil dependant forever… Now we get punished again… They need to go jump off of a bridge…

Now brother, calm your spirit and remember that enlightened path of peaceful meditation, we cannot stray from it…….Or we will loose our tax exemption.

Its probably a good thing that they pick on the rich like that. Suddendly a lot of wealthy patrons will be outraged as they realize they are also considered as servants to the gov. They will have no chance other then to mobilize their wealth and influence to bring the climate hoax down.

Since most of us will be poor by then I suppose this is a tax to get what is left of the rich. The only thing I look forward to is when they topple the naive rich. Then we will all be on the same level against these thieves and maybe we can storm the gates together with nothing left to lose.
July 7th, 2009 at 6:46 am
Still CRAP!!!! There should be NO tax of this type on anyone. By accepting this “fairer” approach, you admit the hoax is true!!!!

“each American produces 20 tons.”
What they are really saying is that “americans” are rich, therefore all americans will be tracked.
Guess I need to invent a gas-o-meter!

It’s a cover for a global tax.
I’m not listening to this crap any more.
July 7th, 2009 at 8:06 am
It get’s worse. There is a bil that if passed will likely criminalize back yard gardens ,small farms and organic farming. Monsanto is probably behind it.
Please pass this on.
This is a post from an on-line forum.

Obama to Nationalize Farms, Outlaw Organic Farming
http://www.youtube.com/v/rQvGB.....n&fs=1
To really understand what the plan is here, I recommend watching this 40 min lecture by Dr. Rima Laibow MD on the Codex Alimentarius. Keep in mind that Obama is a supporter of this, so his move to nationalize farms is no surprise in that matter.
“The Codex Alimentarius is a threat to the freedom of people to choose natural healing and alternative medicine and nutrition. Ratified by the World Health Organization, and going into Law in the United States in 2009, the threat to health freedom has never been greater.

You guys need to be serious with your commentary. It is possible that young people could read your foolish conspiracy theories and become anti Obama green Policy. I understand that you are free to express your opinions now. But someone has to draw up some guidelines to censor hate speech and anti green conspiratists… I mean like DR. Al Gore has been clear about this problem for years, CHAPTER AND VERSE!!!. Take a look around you, their is pollution everywhere. This is obviously global climate change and dumping tons of CO2 gas into our atmosphere. Guys be kool, you like you know we live on the planet and should take care of it. Now if it comes to metering each person for violations i am for it. You have been given fair notice to trade in your cars for electrics at Obama motors Inc, stop cooking out, and NO SMOKING ANYWHERE, EVER. I do not like to be firm with you guys as i wasnt raised that way but you must be considerate of our wild life and forests. We have saved millions of mice in Oakland,CA from a certain death in polluted swamps. Thank you for your $30 million in tax dollar support. A small price to pay to protect an endagered mouse. It is this kine of initiative that will save us. Sure mice are small, but it is like you know a first step in moving forward. I call on you to stop polluting, go electric car, and turn off those nasty coal burning plants. We may be able to save some polar bears if we hurray so lets rush this bill through congress to save our planet. thank you for your support.

Yep these studies have been getting released at an increasingly rapid rate thesedays, but fortunately everyone is quickly learning that global warming is just a way to increase taxes so now they’re going to extremes to push it through before its too late…pathetic.
By the way today I just watched a very informative and very well made video giving people the crashcourse on this topic, I think its little things like these that can greatly wake up the ordinary person from their slumber…enjoy!

First Contact is about to happen. These are exciting times. A whistleblower and several persons associated with the Obama Administration have come forward to FINALLY reveal the truth about Extra-Terrestrial existence. There is a benevolent race called the Galactic Federation of Light, a consortium of 1200 inhabited planets which have reached a deal for final First Contact. Google & You Tube First Contact and learn the truth.
