Ok, so I see why China and India have thrown a tantrum over this as both countries have not implemented an ETS strategy in their own countries. It appears that Air NZ are continuing as normal largely due to the fact that NZ has already set up a robust and totally flawed ETS of its own, And according to the unelected EU muppets, the cost will go directly to the NZ coffers. But what does this mean of the likes of Australia who are still debating the issue?
Also, what are they basing the carbon emissions off? Is it a number plucked from their bums? and whose bums? Since ICAO are still dragging their heels on the issue I cant see much in the way of hard unified data on this. Are the emissions based from the great big dirty JT3C turbines from a B707 or the new Trent 1000's? on the B787. Im searching but I aint finding squat.
