Hey, enough of you Europeans, who’ve given up your liberty and sovereignty to the EU, wanted this with your votes. So, don’t complain when the price of food, housing, and energy skyrocket more. When you can’t afford to heat and cool your homes. Heck, when there’s not enough energy that you’re allowed to use
EU countries agree to hike climate change target next year
European Union countries agreed on Monday to raise their target to curb greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris climate agreement next year, as the bloc attempts to rally ambition among major emitters ahead of this year’s U.N. climate talks.
EU countries’ climate ministers on Monday approved their joint negotiating position for the United Nations summit in November, which was supposed to serve as a deadline for nearly 200 countries to hike their climate pledges.
Most countries have not submitted new targets. The 27-country EU, the world’s third-biggest polluter, pledged on Monday to upgrade its target “as soon as possible”, but said this could not be done until the bloc finishes negotiating a dozen new emissions-cutting laws.
EU countries agreed to wrap up those negotiations by the end of this year – a tight deadline for the dozen laws, which include a ban on new fossil fuel car sales by 2035 and an overhaul of the EU carbon market
EU officials told Reuters the bloc was racing to clinch deals on three policies in time for the COP27 summit on Nov. 7.
The EU’s current target is to cut its net emissions by 55% by 2030, from 1990 levels. EU officials hope it will be possible to nudge that goal higher, because the package of climate policies was designed in July 2021 to deliver the 55% emissions target – and parts of it have since been made more ambitious.
Well, have fun, Europeans. Well, you working and middle class Europeans, because the Elites will continue to live their modern lives to their fullest, while the peons suffer
Ministers also agreed on Monday that the EU would support putting “loss and damage” – the contentious topic of compensation for the damage floods, rising seas and other climate change-fuelled impacts are inflicting on the world’s poorest – on the agenda for the COP27 gathering in Egypt.
Ah, more redistribution. Guess who’s taxes will rise? It won’t be the Elites who pay.
