Thought this was interesting.  I particularly like how the parties on the Right are described as or implied of being far right whack jobs, but the extreme Left groups like the Green, Socialists, Communists, etc. are implied to be reasonable.    Sure, I know this is a Politico article, so that explains a lot, but when will people actually see the Greens, Socialists, Communists are just as extreme as anyone on the Right.

 

The far right’s climate power grab

 

The reversal comes at a delicate time for Europe’s green agenda, which has faced intense pushback not only from the far right but also from the center-right European People’s Party, the political family of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. 

 

The Patriots’ move has backed conservatives into a corner. The EPP has been reluctant to endorse the 2040 target, and was prepared to reject a motion initiated by the Greens to fast-track parliamentary talks on the goal. 

 

Now, however, that motion represents the best shot centrist forces have to curb the far right’s influence.  

 

That’s leaving the EPP with a fateful choice: Either throw its weight behind a fast-tracked target alongside the Greens, Socialists and Democrats, and other centrists — or side with the far right and risk dealing a death blow to von der Leyen’s fragile majority.

"“We are not in favor of declining growth levels. We're not in favor of abandoning our industrial base and leaving them in the lurch. We are absolutely aware of the very negative and damaging effect of the left and the ecologists, and we want to counter this.” 

yeah that sounds so extreme!

Only 3 years left – new study warns the world is running out of time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change

Our dangerously hot planet

Although last year’s global temperatures were very high, they were also alarmingly unexceptional. The data speaks for itself. Continued record high levels of greenhouse gas emissions have led to rising atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.

 

The result is rising temperatures that are rapidly eating into the remaining carbon budget (the amount of greenhouse gases that can be emitted within an agreed time). This will be exhausted in less than three years at current levels of emissions.
