The cost of Lufthansa Group’s “net zero” ambitions became a lot clearer yesterday: expect a surcharge to cover the cost of buying emissions credits up to 72 euros per flight. That’s close to a $75 green tax for flying.

The goal of the radical greens is to make flying so expensive that only the rich elites can afford to board a plane. Remember our famous survey of elites finding more than half believe that discretionary air travel should be banned. These taxes are the first step to making that happen.
