No, it means that you'll waste more jet fuel stopping in northern africa, so that your flight into or out of Europe is short, and not as expensive as a non-stop would be. This is going to be *WORSE* for the environment.

Wow, why is it that Europe is ALWAYS on the forefront of good things? We are so far behind.

Carbon trading is the biggest scam ever invented. Who decides how much is an acceptable amount of emissions? so now we have a group of govt favorites that get to rob other industries blind and pollute just as much as they like.

Seems to me that what this will actually do is cause US airlines to suspend service to EU countries, and split off one or two carriers whose sole purpose is to provide transportation in and out of the EU. Those flights, of course, will be far more expensive than they used to be. That, or the only way in or out of the EU will be by ship or train.
