EU climate body sets 2040 emissions target
EU Observer ^ | 06/15/2023 07:14 | Elena Sánchez Nicolás

The EU climate advisory board, an independent scientific body that gives guidance on EU policies and climate targets, on Thursday (15 June) recommended a net emissions-reduction target of at least 90 percent by 2040 (compared to 1990 levels).

The 2040 objective is an intermediate target foreseen in the EU’s flagship climate law with the aim to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

In a scientific report, the advisory body suggested keeping the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions budget within a range of 11 to 14 gigatonnes of CO2-equivalents between 2030 and 2050 — in line with the commitments under the 2015 Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees.

Experts argue that staying within these limits would require the 27-nation bloc to reduce emissions by 90 to 95 percent by 2040.

The target and the recommended budget include emissions from international aviation and intra-EU maritime transport.

But experts still argue that the starting point to achieve such a level of emission reduction is to hit the current 55 percent reduction target by 2030. […]

Carbon-removal technologies have divided scientists and policymakers for years. In May, a United Nations climate body described these technologies as “unproven,” especially at scale, pointing out their “unknown” environmental and social risks. …

That means they only intend to kill 90% of their population.

EU climate advisory board

The most carbon efficient way to meet this goal is by hanging 90% of EU advisory board members. The always-expanding bureaucratic empire not only has the largest carbon footprint of any economic sector, it has the least to show for it. Grab the low-hanging carbon-based fruits and nuts first. Pro-tip: almost all of these carbon lumps trap themselves in robotic vertical transporters several times per day. If the elevators connect to wi-fi, the deed can be done at any time from China, with live-streaming.

Meanwhile, the globalists of course have no qualms defiling the fields of Ukraine, long known as “the breadbasket of Europe” with spent uranium and other poisons and pollutants.

According to Algore and his other environmentalist wacko, “scientist” palz, we don’t have 18 years left. Greta Thunderbutt, when she is not buying another new car, is giving us less than 8 years. 2040 is ten years too late.

The only thing wrong with their proposal - the rotting corpses will generate more bad air...

And are they doing that while India and China continue unchecked to polute, steal, invade, and thrive?

So, basically they are saying that the stupid countries on the planet have to have unobtainable CO2 decrease to make up for China, India, and Southeast Asia……..

Makes perfect sense to liberals.

I’m confused. Some retarded Swedish teenager tells us the world is going to end in 12 years, but the UN comes out with climate targets in 17 years. Obviously it’s a complete waste. /s

Loved the snow-on-the-ground graphic atop the article. One would have to keep warm -- i.e. expend energy of some sort -- or suffer hypohermia.

--- "...sustainable carbon removals from both the land sector and novel technologies also require rapid scaling up...." 1) We are carbon based life forms, as all all living beings; the carbon-based life forms writing these models and studies and graphs are not planning to die. 2) The real message is "novel technologies." This is code speak for "spend tax revenues" on certain companies, as opposed to other companies. The EU Climate "body" is already counting their financial share in the new scam. Just like the old ones.

Their infiltrators in Congress are calling for the US to set new goals of 100% climate compliance, and to call China a ‘developing country’ with NO goals.

Killing cows is just a test for when they demand a few million people be murdered

Yeah but I still wouldn’t want to live there. It’s a dystopian nightmare with their electronic surveillance and mandatory reporting of their neighbors. I bet someone of the wish for an EMP strike just to end it. That will probably be our future since the republicans are cowards.
