Hey ho, CORSIA has gotta go (too)!

CORSIA's apparent inability to make airline fares skyrocket, so far or anytime soon, has fueled, pun intended, not only much criticism from climate lobbyists, but also increasing allegations of "greenwashing" as well as green or climate "fraud."

Stay Grounded accused the aviation industry of being "a greenwashing best practice case" because "CORSIA covers only a tiny part of aviation emissions [and] is a way for the industry to cheaply buy themselves out of climate commitments…like eliminating…fuel tax exemptions[.]"

Transport & Environment (T&E) went even further: "Offsetting is a climate fraud, perpetuated on unsuspecting passengers by an industry resisting real climate action. CORSIA is a non-starter[.] [And] ICAO…will never rise to the challenge of aviation's climate problem."

Fraud is defined as "a misrepresentation of fact that was either intentional or negligent." Elements include: "The speaker…intended…whom the statement was made would rely on it. The hearer must then have reasonably relied on the promise and [was] harmed because of that reliance."

Such terms are not mere semantics, as Dutch airline KLM's "environmental measures" were deemed by the District Court of Amsterdam in 2024 to be "greenwashing," declared "misleading due to being too vague," and ruled to "only marginally reduce the negative environmental aspects."

As in the case of IMO's net zero scheme, President Trump 47 has issued executive orders at odds with ICAO's CORSIA, such as: Putting America First In International Environmental Agreements; Reducing Anti-competitive Regulatory Barriers; and Leading The World In Supersonic Flight.

T&E warns: "Did Europe really think they could pass [IMO's] global climate deal, (wrongly) dubbed the first global carbon tax, without a huge fight? … If Europe is not willing to seriously face off with Trump, it can forget about global deals…CORSIA being the prime example."

Comparing jet fuel PPI (producer price index) from 1975 to 2025, vis-à-vis climate alarmism, is instructive. The high, low and average prior to Al Gore's post-2000 climate crusade were: 109 (1990); 37 (1999); and 62. Since then: high 435 (2022); low 105 (2016); and average 202.

Even though ICAO and CORSIA have appeared to have caused little-to-no direct price harm to international airlines and passengers so far, nor are predicted to, the Trump administration should embrace the "precautionary principle" so beloved by the climate "bootleggers and baptists."

That means getting out of CORSIA, before the mandatory phase starts in 2027. That might also mean withdrawing from ICAO too, before they, as a UN agency like the IPCC, eventually try to follow IMO with a global carbon tax. This is because, paraphrasing Star Wars:

"We must move quickly. The [globalists] are relentless. If they are not all [defunded], it will be civil war without end. … We will catch them off balance. … Do not hesitate, show no mercy! Only then, will you be strong enough with the [right] side to save [America]."
