EU Abandons New 2030 Climate Target

EU Commissioner Miguel Arias CaneteEU Commissioner Miguel Arias Cañete has given up on plans to officially raise the European Union’s 2030 climate target.

Contrary to what has been announced, Cañete has not submitted the proposal to the EU member states, the German Press Agency in Brussels has learned.

The idea was met with opposition by, among others, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the German industry. Other EU countries also rejected it. —Deutsche Press Agentur, 28 September 2018

The failure to meet European Union climate targets will cost Germany billions. According to a report, the German deficit means the government will have to buy CO2 certificates from Eastern Europe for two billion euros. —Focus, 21 September 2018

There are nearly 30.000 wind turbines in Germany. However, the latest figures prove that the available wind power capacity is negligible. —Klaus Stratmann, Handelsblatt, 27 September 2018

The wholesale price of less-polluting natural gas is soaring a result. Coal burning for power generation by utilities is therefore likely to continue. —Financial Times, 28 September 2018

Climate and energy policies often foment some of the strongest political rhetoric and posturing in an increasingly global and connected economy, which rarely allows for a thoughtful discussion on these complex issues. —Digital Journal, 13 September 2018

Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s repeal of the Green Energy Act and balks by premiers of other Canadian provinces at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s climate agenda aren’t rearguard moves by Donald Trump wannabes. They are part of a worldwide trend rejecting renewables, rejecting climate change alarmism, and embracing coal and other fossil fuels. —Financial Post, 28 September 2018

    The EU did a cost benefit and decided that over 200,000 fuel poverty deaths , a shrinking economy , and no measurable change to the earths temperature were just not worth pursuing a farce . They will however be looking for other suckers to pay for their globalist agenda . They really do need a population destruction strategy that is a bit more discrete .

    The only real Climate Change is in fake computer models and in the minds of those idiots from Greenpeace,NRDC,EDF, and the other Watermelon/Eco-Nazi groups and Al Bore and Leonardo DiCaprios two junk science films THE 11th HOUR and BEFORE THE FLOOD at Al Bores fake science fims as well and Bil Nye the Mad Scientist guy

  3. David Lewis says:

    For the nations stupid enough to take serious action on anthropological climate change, there appears to be stages. The first stage is to make radical changes in the power grid. This results in power becoming very expensive and often unreliable. The economy is damaged due to the extra costs, and companies leave to relocate where the power is cheaper. Families are hard hit and often can not heat their home adequately and some have their power cut off because they can’t afford the new higher rates.

    These consequences then feed back and the desire to take climate action is reduced. This is what was shown by Europe not increasing the goals for 2030.

    The last state in this process has already begun as nations start to rely less on renewable and go back to fossil fuels. This will be a slow process involving small steps.

    As I have said many times, the environmental left is incapable of learning from others if the lesson means backing off from their political agenda. As such we can expect states like California to go through steps on climate change action. In the process they will harm many families and do a great deal of harm to their economy.

    Without the ” SUCKER ”
    USA taxpayers funding it
    per dictum of President Trump
    They will obviously abandon it
    Because
    There is no way any of them will come up with the money
    that they hoped to SUCKER the American taxpayers
    into paying.

    Simply stated
    And
    FACT !

    The eco -anarchist alignment with the “clean energy ” con-men is done . Politicians have sacrificed thousands of their citizens lives and their economies for nothing .
    They deserve to be tried and convicted of mass genocide for they knew exactly what they are doing . The MSM have acted as a propaganda tool for these lying bastards far to long .

    Many Russians remember Germany’s attack in 1941 and are gloating over the increase in natural gas prices. Poetic justice in action.
