UN Taxing Aviation Industry For Century’s-Old CO2 Emissions
airfrance airplaneThe discussion about Air Passenger Duty (APD) paid by airline customers to the UK Exchequer does not mention an additional tax paid by airlines.
The UN’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) measures current aircraft emissions yet it is intended to mitigate the harms purportedly caused by historical carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted during industrialization.
The suggested harms include chronic economic under-development and global warming, despite rising CO2 levels lagging behind temperature increases by 800 years.
