Reader's Blog: Clear sky thinking on cutting emissions

This is a proposal to try to reduce the carbon emissions and placate Brussels, before they apply fines, which will fall on citizens via taxes.

Agriculture seems to be the main focus, however, there is another source which could be tackled immediately — air travel. Considering the amount of air travel undertaken by Irish citizens, I propose each citizen be allocated an annualised block of air miles and if they exceed it additional charges be levied.
