NEW DELHI, March 22 (Reuters) - India formally joined China in asking its airlines to boycott the European Union's carbon scheme, confirming what a senior Indian government source previously told Reuters and stoking a diplomatic row over the issue.
"Though the European Union (EU) has directed Indian carriers to submit emission details of their aircraft by March 31, 2012, no Indian carrier is submitting them in view of the position of the government," India's civil aviation minister Ajit Singh said on Thursday.

We all share ONE planet. As well as the West having a very long ways to go to protect the environment, Asia has an obligation to do likewise - even if that means the American and European and Chinese and Indian 1 percenters need to be cut down to size and the world backs away from a materialistic society to one of UNIVERSAL austerity.
Earth complete is more important than the global virus that IS the human species.
