An equitable global ETS
Why don't our politicians look at the emissions created in the mining, smelting and
production processes that mineral ores and coal etc are used in and apportion
their emissions penalties proportionally.
Surely they realise that most of the emissions are released when you burn the coal to
process the ore and/or manufacture goods? Any imports of goods made from the mineral
production process should pay the appropriate proportion of the emissions penalties due if they have not already been paid.
Why not foster a global system where the user really pays for their emissions generated,
no more no less, a system that would allow local smelting, processing and manufacturing
industries to be able to compete on par with similar operations in any country in the
world because they are all penalised equally.
This isn't protectionism, it's environmental protectionism.

Corollary to the Peter Principle: Once you have promoted all of your competents to their highest level of incompetence you must change your management philosophy from top down to bottom up, because the staff at the bottom are the only competent ones in your entire organisation.
