Because it’s your fault that they are emitting carbon. At least according to the Feckless Administration…

“It’s important that those who consume the products being made all around the world to the benefit of America — and it’s our own consumption activity that’s causing the emission of greenhouse gases, then quite frankly Americans need to pay for that,” Commerce Secretary Gary Locke told the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai.

Yeah… that sounds like a good idea. Not sure exactly how we’re supposed to pay for it.

The Commerce Department later “clarified” the Secretary’s statement, as seems to be standard practice in this administration when someone (see Biden, Joe) accidentally speaks their true feelings about something.

Besides national bankruptcy, I can’t really see what this administration’s end game is supposed to be.
