The German government may tax individuals with high carbon footprints at heavier rates than their fellow, eco-friendly citizens.
Activities that could trigger a higher tax rate, as reported by German media outlets, include driving gasoline-powered or large cars, engaging in frequent air travel, and living in a large place of residence.
The policy enjoys support from the country's left-wing Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection Robert Habeck, who recently floated a "Climate tax" on new car registrations, according to a strategy paper by the government agency obtained by the German news outlet Handelsblatt.
The government described the tax initiative as "a CO2-dependent climate tax for new car registrations," so "As a result, e-cars are cheaper than the respective combustion cars."
"Therefore, in the future, those who cause a particularly large amount of climate-damaging CO2 should be taxed more heavily - for example with a large apartment, two cars or permanent air travel, she demanded."A temporary wealth levy would also be conceivable.
" In the future, social justice will no longer be separate from climate justice, said Göring-Eckardt.
The German government floating a potential environmental tax follows concern over left-wing and globalist advocacy groups such as the World Economic Forum exploiting COVID-19 and the climate to implement their "Great Reset" agenda.
