So does this mean that we will one day euthanize those who have used up their CO2 allotment?

That's a creepy (and not out-of-bounds) thought. (In a just-barely related item, people have "Don't Kill Me" cards for themselves in the Netherlands so that doctors who feel that certain patients have "used their share" of the national health system $ don't pull the plug on them.)

Elsewhere on the website it says that it is better to buy things made in China than Australia because it is more labor intensive and less fuel intensive. They figure that sweatshops are better for the earth than modern factories. Pleasant people.

Wow, that's moronic. If they could see the filth that goes into the environment from your average factory here, they'd
hopefully change their tune. Also, no thought to shipping, etc. from another continent? I know that Australia uses a lot of "road trains" that bump up fuel usage per good delivered, but give me a break - reform the system, don't give up the ghost and roll over.
These people scare me. Add to this sort of rubbish things like the "Gaia" theory and you've got animism for the New Age all wrapped up.
