The European Commission has presented concrete measures to reduce the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 from 1990 levels. While ‘Fit for 55’ is the world’s first tangible plan to target carbon neutrality, critics argue it is too weak and too slow.

Ecosia 👍🌱🌳
The world is being hoodwinked by the climate religion cult.
There is an affordable solution to climate change. Meers mirrors probably our greatest hope, but awareness of them need to be spread and governments need to be elected on the promise they'll deploy these meers mirrors. Spread this message about. Spread it everywhere you can. We can beat global warming, the technology exists but we need people to spread this message everywhere as soon as possible
People like the idea before they hear the actual tradeoff and benefits of clamping down on energy, there will be backlash
Jesus is coming…get ready
Got it.
We're still hosed.
Lawsuits
🤣🙃🙄
Great efforts but not quick enough.
Stop looking at profits & just do it
So basically you can buy „allowed to pollute certificates“ and everything is ok. This is smoke and mirrors. We are not doing anything…..
all the cardboard bureaucrats in Brussels want to destroy all of Eastern Europe. They just impose restrictions. but the economies of Eastern Europe have sucked them to the maximum of resources …
Austria cuts the forests of Romania and Poland in a joy.
It blocks the construction of nuclear power plants in Eastern Europe. and let's not forget the Automotive sector. which is severely affected. And who will pay for this Eastern Europe. Because 60% of the component and machine manufacturing industry is concentrated there …
Carbon neutral by 2050 is too late.
We have to hit 2030, along with a massive drive to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
That the unfortunate reality we face and no amount of slick video productions by CNBC are going to change that.
It is now predicted, we will hit 1.5c of warming above the base line, by 2028 – 1.5c above is in the realms of catastrophic change.
We will reach 2c by 2040, if not before.
Now if only my country, the USA, would get its head out of its * and join in.
I like the presenter. She's great
China are leading the world, its EU thats lagging!
Ehhhh, looks like there is an inflection point that happened in 2005 that probably puts the EU directly in line with its target.
Republicans are gonna hate this.
Yea yea Rich will fly to space and drive Tesla, poor will be freezing in houses and be in crowded buses full or viruses and they will not have money for heating, while china will become more and more developed, EU on the way down.
5:08 Greenpeace opposes nuclear power (without which we will never be able to reduce our carbon footprint enough) so their opinion is disregarded
So we're Fked?
7:26 "if we kill lots of people and if we have a lot of job losses it won't be a successful route"
Uhm… we're in this predicament because we have too many people on the planet and all those people want jobs and that gives them money to buy resources that destroy the planet.
1:50 big companies will just buy up smaller companies or start multiple companies to add to the CO2 currency.we need to stop consuming so much shit we don't actually need
I think they should make gas $10 a Gallon in the USA. I got rid of my Gas Car so i dont care.
It is a green SCAM!
Not that we don't need to do something for the Planet but that shit offered by the wealthy one is just a money laundry for trillions with no real results!
05:19 Your face when you are pretending and interested that you know the topic during Zoom meeting..

Eerie. "We have a plan for your life, and you will go along wether you like it or not"
All of this is eerie.
Politicians are just playing up with the economy.
Sure they know better than you, after all they convinced many people to drop a ballot in a box. Not every scientist can do that (Actually, none of them do)
Turn the deserts of the world into solar power plants making electricity, hydrogen, fresh water from the sun and sea water. Create forests and towns and cities there too. Show the world we can heal the earth by repairing the damaged deserts and bringing them back to life.. do this before you tie your hands with carbon neutral..
The real game changer is globalisation. Long distance transportation of information, people and goods costs nearly nothing. On the other hand, bureaucracy is very expensive. It does not make sense to make Europe a paradise for people that live from bureaucracy and subsidies and a hell for people that produce something.
If only the rest of the world followed our example.. Particularly the US and China..
Drastically lowering the volume of products consumed would certainly help. Banning non-recyclable non-biodegradable materials to eventually see a closing of landfill sites and reduce our methane production (lets not just focus on CO2 since methane is about 80 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2)
That Greenpeace fellow looks pretty pale. I think a big, juicy barbequed T Bone steak would do him some good 😉
