Carbon dioxide forms the basis of all life on earth, but in Europe it is considered a toxin.
“The European Union approved on Monday a deal that will lead to the phaseout of sales of new fossil fuel cars by 2035, with a final green light by energy ministers due on Tuesday.
The 27-nation bloc joins more than a dozen other nations which have set deadlines for ending sales of new cars with internal combustion engines (ICE) which emit toxic gasses that are a major driver of climate change.”
Tilting at windmills.
CO2 isn’t toxic; no climate is changing; EU has no control over atmospheric CO2.
But they’ll kill their economy for it.
Reality will be what the left says it is.
We see more and more what the real purpose of the EU always was and is.
It is so much easier to force countries into submission and a specific direction(which is always the direction of the USA)and into wars.
And the NATO can start these wars as they have control and a monopol on the armies.
Not so much — NATO did not go along with Trump.
The right will tolerate the left, but the left will not tolerate the right. The left is not liberal; it is the left.
Of course not.
Trump wanted to get out of NATO.
NATO without sugardaddy USA can not survive.
Not selling ICE cars will devastate auto manufacturing. There won’t be enough batteries to build cars with, so goodby jobs.
The entire supply chain will dry up, and there will be a major depression in the West. Famine will ensue.
Perhaps this is really a move by Russia and China to conquer the West and rule to world.
Well Russia is said to have massive Lithium reserves,
but I think this doesn’t matter as the concept of the WEF’s 15 minute cities is that you won’t have any car at all.
In a world where you own nothing and are supposed to love it
ownership of something that costs 20K+ is pretty much the last thing they will allow.
And China and Russia are not really interested in this scenario.
Russia has no interest in destroying the market as these cars use the ressources that make Russia rich,
while China won’t benefit from a broke US economy and the debts the USA is owning them won’t be worth the paper they are written on in such a scenario.
Btw – considering the policies of Biden
I do not think that things would be worse for the US citizen if China and Russia would run the world instead of the conglomerate of Big Tech,Secret Services,MSM,Pentagon
and neocons who have all the power to start a war whenever they want to but 0 power to counter any woke agenda.
That’s the plan. There are too many people in the world today, woke experts say. Mankind is a plague in need of eradication, they say, and if the independent-don’t-bother-me right does nothing, the left will get their way.
At least the UK doesn’t have to go along with it-but they will. Again, here is an opportunity for a second level nation to elevate itself to a world power. Just leave the EU and institute a capitalist economy, which rewards successful people and is business friendly. Everything else will take care of itself.
Let’s see how successful the EU is, maybe this is the dying cry of collectivism saying, being in charge is just too much for us. Please vote in someone who can think.
And lastly, in geological and biological terms, we are at a low point in atmospheric CO2.
Utter madness.
I wonder, does the elimination of ICE vehicles include tanks and APCs? If not, an energy starved EU would be ripe for the taking.
I notice ‘hydrogen’ is considered ‘clean’. Isn’t the most potent greenhouse gas water vapour? The stupidity isn’t even internally consistent. We are ruled by morons.

New ICE cars will NOT be banned, Germany insisted on an exemption, as long as they are e-fueled.
Which may or may not be the effective end, only time will tell.
e fuel comes from a windmill in Patagonia. Just short of unicorn pee.
Well not quite.
