China prohibits airlines from joining EU ETS

For once I agree with the Chinese dictatorial machine. the Euro's are just looking to others to fund their poor financial practices

Allen, you are completely missing the point. I advise you to do further reading into ETS subject.

How can one ETS be applicable for all types of fuels and all types of industries, when the cost of each type of fuel is different and the emission reduction potential of each industry is different?

The EU ETS is a SCAM! Corrupt Politicians stuffing their pockets with tax dollars from other countries. The Airlines can't afford it and it's WRONG!!!!!! What's Washington doing about it? NOTHING!! They can't accomplish anything. The EU are a bunch of Whiners.

Robert, my friend. I think that you need to do a little research about this topic. And then when you get ready to adop any posisition and say something logical, come back. The topic is about fuel emission, not about the U.S.

The People’s Republic of China/PRC, as opposed to Taiwain’s Republic of China on Taiwan/ROC needs re-analysis by ATW .The PRC China’s State Council,國務院Guówùyuàn of the CPC, is currently chaired by Premier温家宝Wen Jiabao of the Standing Comittee of the PRC of Beijing’s Zhongnanhai- Forbidden City’s, CPC’s announced prohibition of the EU’s ETS in 孫子Sun Tzu’s Art of War strategic imperative on the 上元节, 上元節Shangyuan Festival/Lantern of Feb 6 2012 .This marked the end of the 春節-龍Water or Black Water Dragon-putative-Baby Boom year of Jan 23 2012.
Current Premier,温家宝Wen Jiabao will be succeeded by PM 李克强Li Keqiang-English fluent lawyer- in 2012, without the fanfare of US Fox Noise-thankfully.
On Jan 18 2012, after being given an early morning HOMICIDE-INDUCING and generallyINFURIATIANG radar vector tour of the Main and Rhine river valleys to the south and west in darkness in an improvised Noise Curfew Holding/NCH in Frankfurt EDDF as Command F/O on B744F CAO 1043, B-744 BCF, B-2458, I stated in ATW the following on Jan 18, “Needless to say, Air China in particular and Chinese carriers in general will not pay the ETS Shakedown Racket in practice”. QED , we, as in crew, with I, as author, submitted a report to the CAAC noting that we burned 4 tonnes of Jet A1,for no GOOD reason and were being asked to pay for these emissions that we were forced to emit for a totally insane noise curfew, that caused these extra emissions ?. That being, the result of an “apparent” robotic Germanic race. They “apparently” cannot be disturbed from their obligated and regulated sleep Circadian Rhythm patterns from 23:00 to 05:00 inclusive, when everybody in the Frankfurt area awakes exactly in unison as they had slept. With such unitary precision, how did they possibly lose the war ?, one might ask, nein pilsner bitte ?. Further, that our arch enemy is the ridiculous beyond parody, European Commissioner for Climate Action Connie Hedegaard or Action Woman , who obviously needs a breath of recycled ETS air. She is, like all Euro-parasites, a Brussels 3 B, that is, a Ballless, Brainless Buffoon of Brussels, although she can claim a Euro-Gender exemption from the former, but evidently would not have the brains to do so for the latter. The EUEC=3B-QED, slainte Super Connie. The Lockheed Super Connie, though beautiful, spluttered out some serious emissions in its piston day.
Politically the Treaty of Rome of 1957 guaranteed freedom of movement of people capital goods and services. The so-called EU could not agree on that, now they cannot agree on EU debt obligation of a single currency’s Central Bank assuming debts of individual sovereign states without a central treasury. A central bank is supposed to be a lender of last resort to banks, not governments. This Euro fudge illustrates that the EU is not a union. My country-Ireland-in May 2004, granted all new EU members of Eastern Europe these Rome Treaty rights along with our brother Kingdom, the UK and the Kingdom of Sweden too. Did Italy of the Treaty of Rome?, ironically no!, it imposed a migration restriction along with Germany, Italy and France, in EU’s perpetual contradiction , with Germany and France like Costa-Lotta Concordia’s Captain Francesco Shettino of Italy’s Friday 13 2012. They, like Captain Shettino, lead from behind in front leaving the citizens/pax behind. And Ireland and the UK are called Eurosceptic ?, by Eurotossers?, how nauseating. Imagine if the contiguous US imposed migration restrictions on Hawaii and Alaska ?
This, CAO1043 holding report of 01-16-12 on our sector was well received in the CAAC’s Beijing-Dongcheng and channeled to the CPC’s State Council of Beijing-Zhonghnanhai. The CPC acted quickly in giving the CAAC diplomatic covering fire, as they generally do. China does not do EUBS, it has too many poor people in a rich country to entertain such spoiled brat cossetted Euro-Muppetry grand standing posturing and pouting. That is the advantage of a percieved de-facto dictatorship, but really more authoritarian in fact. Roads are straight and decisions are made quickly and for the long term, with a substantial human cost too, to be fair. But at least it is exclusive of the Fox Noise rabid and raving US-like electoral cycle. Beijing’s Norman Foster designed Terminal 3 of Beijing ZBAA. It took 4 years from breaking ground to completion on March 2008 and a 12468 foot Runway 01/19, the same length as 18L36R, was built simultaneously too. T3 is the same volume of London Hellrow’s Terminal 1,2,3,4 and 5 plus 17% additional capacity. That Londung Zoo’s Terminal 5 planning enquiry took longer than Beijing’s construction, let alone the interminable Hellrow third runway debate. Thanks be to Sun Tzu, I’ve mostly-as pax and crew-been successful in avoiding Londung Hellrow.
Hindsight is retrospective foresight, but what is blindingly obvious does not require distant foresight, it simply requires common sense, conspicuous by its absence in Brussels Eurocratic-non democratic Muppet Show.
On Feb 6/ 7th 2012, I was Command F/O on CCA965 B-2467, a B-744 Combi from Beijing ZBAA’s RWY 36R @ 02:46 CST @-13C to Frankfurt EDDF’s RWY07R @ 05:35 CET/04:35Z @-14C, actual elapsed time of 09hrs 49mins , fuel burned, 96 tonnes. Our highest fuel saving highest Step-Climb/Step-TOC to FL360, west of the Urals. This flight consists mostly of first and business pax, a sprinkling of economy pax. This was as a result of a B-777-300ER capacity excess on the CCA-983/984 ZBAA-KLAX route and a temporary B-777-300ER shortage on the CCA 965/966 Morning –Afternoon Business route of CCA-965/966, from the start of Feb 2012, before last Summer, it was served by an Airbus A330-200. There was also 27 tonnes of high value express freight on 7 pallets, normally taken on CAO1041, which did not operate on Feb 7 2012, so CCA965 was a max revenue flight.
For German-Euro humour I defer to my fellow elder and greater-in Chinese/孔夫子Confucius age deference- Corkonian, Ryanair’s Michael O’ Leary or Michael O’ Leary’s Ryanair ? to see as clearly as I do. And I’d like to thank ATW for its truly democratic platform of convergence and divergence of intelligent views and never bowing to the cancer of our age of Political Correctness-the big PC and being tarred a liberal or conservative as abuse, I wanted to marry the B-747 from an early age, circa 1975, link below Mollie. I was branded an aerosexual, I’m guilty, I guess. I met the narrator and featured Captain Aidan Quigley once at Cork’s cancelled airshow in August 1985. He commanded the Papal flight of the great Karol Józef Wojtyła of Wadowice Poland, alias Pope John Paul II of Vatican State-City of Rome from Shannon EINN to Boston KBOS in September 1979. What seems lost in the toxic Democratic/GOP polarization of the US is there is a French supplied Statue of Liberty in New York and President Obama is so unpopular, as a liberal ? now, that even his conservative Kenyan relations are saying he was born in the United Islands of Hawaii of the States. Like King Newt, the Birthers are always entertaining far beyond and off the scale of parabolic parody.
Still, look out for PRC VP Xi Jinping on ship CCA 012 , B-744, B-2472(B-2447 as a Tech Substitute ship) in Washington-Andrews KADW, not Washington-Dulles KIAD on Feb 14 Valentines to kiss President Obama on Valentines, Xi is a romantic. He, Xi, is succeeding President 胡锦涛Hu Jintao in 2013 after the party succession party of October 2012. So Xi, is now flying on Hu Force 1, it will be Xi Force 1 in 2013. He will hopefully co-opt President Obama in Sun Tzu fashion of their G2 relationship and in recognising that the EU is a G2 navel gazing spectator. That is why his next stop after Washington is Ireland from Feb 18 to 20, then he heads to Turkey, by-passing the EU Kindergarten, enough is enough. I am in Dublin on the 20th, coincidentally, if I see Xi, I’ll say Hi, not Hu.
One can only wonder at what a putative 200 year old Charles Dickens on Feb 7 2012 would make of the world of this day ? and 20th anniversary of the EU’s Maastricht Treaty too, google Beethoven’s 4th movement of his 9th symphony, it does not need attachment to what I say, when it was hijacked by Connie and EC Co-Con artists without electoral confidence .
The Euro Muppet Show continues with the spoiled brats of Bon Chance avec Air France of a strike about the right to strike. Yes, really, only the French do farce with such aplomb on Feb 6 and Feb 7 2012, King Canute lives on in Air France.
Actually CCA may have to reintroduce the B-744 on that route Paris-Beijing, if these habitual addicted strike brats keep it up, as the CCA933/934 is generally served by an A-340-300, a mediocre plane for a marginal similar route, powered aptly enough by 4 hair dryers, it only appears to climb at a tangent, because of the earth’s curvature. But as workers, the French, they have a lot in common with the EUECBBB’s in a battle/hunting sense. Like going into battle/hunting, they are like going into such with an accordion player, a lot of noisy useless baggage, best left behind. Yet the EU’s EC via its EASA is mutely silent on the bleeding obvious elephant in the room ? Clearly as David Learmount illustrates, the EASA of Germany’s Cologne suffers from 3B too, sadly alas, but Germany’s accident investigator, the BFU, does not, that is of course cabin air contamination from bleed air, not an issue on the bleedless B-787.

Oh, and to show that I identify with Danish Connie, I post my most recent trip from Denmark our CAO1050 B744F takeoff B-744F takeoff was from Copenhagen’s EKCH’s RWY 22L with a left turn on to the Baltic Sea threreafter. Unfortunately I didn’t have time nor inclination nor knowledge to measure our CO2 emissions , it was chilly @-6C though, not to mention the 11kt wind chill effect off the watery Koge Bugt to the southwest. But Connie and Co, are most welcome to stand-ideally on a runway threshold, 100 feet from our tail, as we apply rated takeoff thrust without any derate or assumed temperature deductions-and measure our emissions, however she does that ?. Doing so would be somewhat hazardous, to say the least, but she/they would be doing World in general a favour and Europe’s taxpayers in particular.
