New EU climate target can now pass into law

Goal to cut emissions 90% among world’s ambitious

EU facing political pushback on green agenda

BRUSSELS, March 5 (Reuters) – European ‌Union countries gave the final approval on Thursday to a new climate target to slash greenhouse gas emissions 90% by 2040, pressing ahead with the bloc’s ambitious climate agenda despite political resistance.

The new climate target ​is a hard-fought political compromise, struck by governments and EU lawmakers last year. ​It is more ambitious than most major economies’ emissions-cutting commitments, including China’s.

Like all these wonderful plans of man it will suddenly come crashing to the ground.

EVs - 'They' can give any percentages, but if people will not buy them, what are 'they' going to do?.
Another Pandemic - So many people are now awake and will reject 'their' solution.
Globall Warming - way down on normal persons list of worries.
The Uniparties - Rejected.
Low Traffic Zones - Remove notices, destroy cameras.
The BBC - many don't pay the tax.

The Population have been awakened.

It was in Peter Pan that we were told "Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough".

DAD - let's hope people are waking up, although it is probably inevitable that more nonsense will emerge. It's what the elites do.

dearieme - some people do seem to be like that, as if saying something often enough makes it true.

Does anyone else find that a political com promise is no way to tackle a scientific crisis? Unless the "crisis" is a fabricated excuse to order people about.

DJ - I'll go for a fabricated excuse to order people about, a luxury belief with an inbuilt assertion of superiority. Also important seems to be be the unequal effect it has socially.
