Time to boycott U.S., Indian, and Chinese Airlines as they evade Carbon tax

BBC News - India boycotts EU aviation carbon charge: "Indian airlines will not comply with the European Union's (EU) carbon charging scheme, according to civil aviation minister Ajit Singh.

The EU has directed Indian carriers to submit the emissions details of their aircraft by 31 March.

But Mr Singh told parliament that "no Indian carrier is submitting them in view of the position of the government".

Last month, China said its airlines would not pay the EU charge.

Many other countries, including Russia and the US, have also objected to the scheme, under which airlines that exceed tight emission limits must buy carbon credits."
