EU unveils sweeping climate change plan:
The European Union has announced a raft of climate change proposals aimed at pushing it towards its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
A dozen draft proposals, which still need to be approved by the bloc's 27 member states and the EU parliament, were announced on Wednesday.
They include plans to tax jet fuel and effectively ban the sale of petrol and diesel powered cars within 20 years.
The proposals, however, could face years of negotiations.
The plans triggered serious infighting at the European Commission, the bloc's administrative arm, as the final tweaks were being made, sources told the AFP news agency.

She flew to the boat.

At least get the facts right. *She* didn't fly to the boat. The crew that sailed it back did. I mean how lazy is it not to check these facts? Or they no longer matter, just what you feel aught to be the right talking point?

But whatever. The weirdo world is now inventing weird image of Greta like they did of Bill Gates because he dared what? Supports extermination of polio and measles? Did the elites with deep pockets in private hospitals lose their 1% from treating children paralysis and so they want to throw mud on Gates? Right wingnuts are the useful idiots here. Reality? What reality?
