Hi, This is fiction - Right!
It's about a thing called ROSS. The Mysterons brought in ROSS as a money making scam. The Mysterons are like that
They decided to make absolutely everything Electrical and Electronic go ROSS, which means that give-away Mobile Phones, DVD players, TV's and even COOL AMPS made by the little guy on the kitchen table for sale to the "good 'ol guys" had to comply (and pay big time - thus passing on the cost to you).
Everyone on the planet was kidded-on that it was just about solder by undercover Mysteron Agents, but the little guy really knew what was going down. He'd read the directive - he'd also listened to R4 (quite a lot), and he'd put 2 and 2 together and made 4, because he understood Education - Education - Education, more than the chief Mysteron who simply used it as a sound bite.
ROSS meant that everything had to be refined to death (absolute purity). A bit like white flour, where they take out the Wheat Germ which is the bit that is healthy and then grind up all the Endosperm and bleach it using domestos so that it reeks havoc with your major intestine, a cause of cancer, and then say that ALL wheat is bad for you. Mysterons eh?
To refine all the ROSS banned substances out of "existence" meant that things called retorts and blast furnaces that made all the metals used in Electronic and Electrical Equipment (EEE) - had to be run more often - working night and day - because...
...to ensure the impurities contained in every metal bearing rock (Ore) that would normally exist in all metals that are produced by a process called smelting were completely removed - meant that the impurities that floated on the top of the molten mass had to be skimmed-off deeper, or - the molten metals that floated on top of the impurities had to be skimmed-off more shallower
The clever Mysteron Politicians knew that this would lead to a massive increase in carbon fuel usage.
(They also knew that the impurities would be dumped back into the ground at the point of refining, instead of being dumped back into the ground at the end of the products life, but knew they could bullshit the Mysteron people, who never get that deep into facts, because it's too heavy for them to care)
So, this is how the scam operated - they used to have a thing called the "Carbon Fuel Levy" which meant that the furnace operators paid more for the power they used. But the Mysterons wanted the EEE producers to be skanked, so they switched from the "Carbon Fuel Levy" to the "CO2 Levy" saying that the people that caused Greenhouse Gasses to happen would be made to pay - and that suited the "Green Welly Brigade" (set up by the Mysterons in the first place...)
So to recap. The Mysterons brought in ROSS and at the same time brought in the "CO2 Levy". They made the EEE producers comply with a legislation designed to increase Global Warming, blamed them for the increase in Global Warming, and made them pay for the increase in Global Warming - what a scam!
It could never happen down here on earth...
