Everyone in Britain should have an annual carbon ration and be penalised if they use too much fuel,according to the head of the Environment Agency.
Lord Smith of Finsbury believes that implementing individual carbon allowances for every person will be the most effective way of meeting the targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
It would involve people being issued with a unique number which they would hand over when purchasing products that contribute to their carbon footprint,such as fuel,airline tickets and electricity.
Like with a bank account,a statement would be sent out each month to help people keep track of what they are using.
If their “carbon account” hits zero,they would have to pay to get more credits.
Those who are frugal with their carbon usage will be able to sell their unused credits and make a profit.
Lord Smith will call for the scheme to be part of a “Green New Deal” to be introduced within 20 years when he addresses the agency’s annual conference on Monday.
An Environment Agency spokesman said only those with “extravagant lifestyles” would be affected by the carbon allowances.
He said:“A lot of people who cycle will get money back.It will probably only be bankers and those with extravagant lifestyles who would lose out.”
However,some have criticised the move as “Orwellian” and say it will have a detrimental impact on business.
Ruth Lea,an economist from Arbuthnot Banking Group,told the Daily Mail:“This is all about control of the individual and you begin to wonder whether this is what the green agenda has always been about.It’s Orwellian.This will be an enormous tax on business.”
Under the Climate Change Act,Britain is obliged to cut its emissions by 80 per cent on 1990 levels by 2050.This means annual CO2 emissions per person will have to fall from about 9 tonnes to only 2 tonnes.
每个人都应该有一个在英国每年的碳配给,并予以处罚,如果他们使用太多的燃料,根据环境局负责人.
芬斯伯里史密斯勋爵认为,为每个人实现个人的碳排放配额将会议削减温室气体排放的目标的最有效的方法.
这将涉及人发出了一个独特的编号,他们会交出购买的产品,有助于他们的碳足迹,如燃油,飞机票和电力,.
与银行帐户一样,将送出一份声明中每月帮助人们保持跟踪他们使用的是什么.
如果他们的“碳帐户”降为零,他们将不得不支付,以获得更多的学分.
那些与他们的碳使用的节俭,将能够出售其未使用的学分,并赚取利润.
史密斯勋爵将要求该计划将日(星期一)地址,该机构的年度会议时,他要在20年内推出“绿色新政”的一部分.
环境局发言人说,只有那些“奢侈的生活方式”,将碳排放配额的影响.
他说:“很多人的周期会拿钱回来.它可能会只银行家和奢侈的生活方式,谁就会失去的人.“
然而,一些批评为“奥威尔式”的举动,并说,这将对企业产生不利影响.
露丝LEA,亚毕诺银行集团的经济学家,“每日邮报”说:“这是所有有关个人的控制,并开始怀疑这是否是绿色的议程一直关注.这是奥威尔.这将是一个巨大的税收业务.“
根据“气候变化法”,英国不得不削减其排放量在1990年的水平,80%,到2050年.这意味着每人每年二氧化碳排放量将有来自约9吨下降到只有2吨.
