I really love Gus Van Horn’s suggestion of calling “carbon credits” by their proper name: “fuel rations.” It’s just too perfect, particularly the wake of the recommendation of Britain’s influential Environmental Audit Committee that every person be forced to use a “carbon ration card” to purchase “petrol, airline tickets or household energy.”
Instead, I propose that the government dole out those cards to anyone who advocates or votes for such horrid legislation. Much better, no?
