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's so tough she won't take 'yes' for an answer.

Global Jewry is working with the Chinese to implement all this touchy-feely bullshit to try to get Western nations to give up their energy independence, soften them up a bit for easy subjugation while making them dependent on cheap Chinese batteries and solar panels and other cheap shit. And as another user pointed out, they get complete fucking passes for hypocrisy with the private Jet-related stuff being exempt of extra taxes.
You don't find it to be coincidental that China and India are never mentioned in these "climate" agreements that list all the modern conveniences that Western nations must give up? Such as well-rounded diets (starve the brains to make them less effective and more malleable), individual homes (destruction of privacy and the family unit), older driver-driven automobiles (freedom of movement), the independence of nuclear power, free speech (criticism of government, questioning of hoax pandemics/lockdowns and the efficacy/hazards of compulsory vaccination)? All in the name of "the environment?"
