How to Hide a Global Wealth Redistribution Scheme

This is not as hard as it seems. All you need is an EPA mandate and the right grade of commodities.

If you look at a diesel fuel pump in any American service station, you will see a sticker that basically says “After 2007, all diesel fuel must contain less than 7 PPM (part per million) Sulfur content.” And this is just the beginning with the next milestone to be 4 PPM and then it will most likely reduce even lower.

These mandates favor light sweet crude which primarily comes from North African regions and parts of Asia, with a few reserves in the gulf coast.  

This in essence elevates the prices on these reserves while degrading the prices on higher Sulfur content crude, since you increase the cost to refine the higher content crude, in order to remove the Sulfur content in the finished product.  And where does this crude come from, North America, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and other places the US has historically bought crude from.

This is the simple way in which it works, The US and other developed countries pay a premium to purchase low sulfur diesel from the under developed countries, and continue to produce their higher sulfur diesel, in which they sell to the underdeveloped countries, and China at a lower price. 

In essence, you increase the market for low content fuel, thus increasing the price. While you flood the market for higher content fuel in the underdeveloped world.

Sense diesel is primarily used for transportation and agriculture, this higher price is passed on to consumers in the developed world. Meanwhile, the underdeveloped world sees a decrease in their cost of living due to the same conditions.  Thus you see a transfer of wealth to these countries, even if their inhabitants will probably not benefit. And at the end of the day you are still releasing the same amount of sulfur dioxide globally, you have just redistributed it to the third world.
