I mentioned the other day that the Trump admin was heavily against this, and, now
A fierce Trump administration push to stop the global shipping industry from paying for its own climate pollution appeared to have been successful Friday, as efforts to approve the “world’s first global carbon tax” collapsed.
It had been widely assumed the tax would be adopted during a summit in London at the International Maritime Organization, the UN-backed body that governs global shipping. But after four days of fraught negotiations, countries agreed to delay a vote on whether to approve it by 12 months.
The decision came after a vociferous US campaign, with President Donald Trump calling it a “scam tax” and the State Department threatening reprisals on countries supporting it.
Experts say the collapse of the talks marks not only a significant blow for attempts to clean up a heavily climate-polluting industry, undermining decades of negotiations, but also represents yet another failure of climate diplomacy.
How about this: all the people, particularly the Elites, who are pushing climate taxes and stuff should make their own lives carbon neutral? No more fossil fueled flights, no more luxury autos, live in small homes, etc and so on? Leave the rest of us the fuck alone.
Almost like they were paid – Report Times Square protest ends EXACTLY at 1PM

But we were told there would be MILLIONS all across the country protesting… maybe they are running out of other people’s money.
No Kings Day fizzled out pretty fast.
If not for the news media promoting it, with a schedule of events, video in heavy rotation and reporters on scene it would be just another tempest in a teapot. The 2024 election map says that the majority of the country voted for Donald Trump.
Definitely paid. Family of mine was offered $250 each for 4 hours of sign waving and chanting.
Bow down, peasants…
