ESTRELA DE BELÉM
De novo, chegam-nos os dias em que parece que é suposto comprovar que o Natal não é “um dia assinalado e dedicado à gula, à embriaguez, ao sentimentalismo, à troca de presentes, ao aborrecimento público e ao mau comportamento privado”... (*)
Boas Festas!

uma ideia para 2007:
In the Herald's Europe.

"(...)
Another sign that hard thinking was still happening came from Britain last week, when the Environment Secretary, David Miliband, said he was considering introducing personal carbon allowances. Under such a scheme, each time people bought petrol, paid an electricity bill or booked an airline ticket, they would swipe a carbon credit card and spend some of their carbon allowance.
People who used more than their allowance would have to buy carbon credits, just as countries and companies will have to do after 2008 under the Kyoto Protocol. Those who used less carbon would be able to sell their credits. The scheme would almost certainly redistribute income, since the wealthy usually produce far more greenhouse gases than the poor. This makes it fairer than flat-rate carbon taxes, which fall equally on all.
Dismissed not long ago as a dream of the loony fringe, the idea has reached the centre with surprising speed. Miliband - a young and quietly charismatic politician who is touted as a future prime minister - told The Guardian last week the idea had "beauty and simplicity, because it would reward carbon thrift." Yes, it would be a difficult step, but "bold thinking is required because the world is in a dangerous place".
Cost and the risk of fraud are obstacles to implementation. Some people will see Big Brother in it, the rise of what the Australian scientist Tim Flannery calls "the carbon dictatorship". But the scheme doesn't ban people from emitting an excess of greenhouse gases, it just makes them pay for the privilege. The more they emit, they more they pay, as the price of credits rises with scarcity. The market can be socially just.
