Make some use of those empty oil cans the Great Reset enviroweenies are conspiring to prevent you from using, Euroweenies.

"Some men just want to watch the world burn.” — Alfred Pennyworth
In Europe, they’re burning garbage to stay warm. “It’s so bad this season that you can smell trash burning every day, which is completely new,” said the 35-year-old mother of three from Jablonna, Poland, near Warsaw. “Rarely can you smell a regular fuel. It’s scary to think what happens when it really gets cold.” The Polish government suspended quality regulations on coal burning for those who can still afford it; 60% of households no longer can. Because of all the garbage burning, the government may soon hand out masks so its residents don’t inhale toxic fumes. Said one of Poland’s most powerful politicians last month, “one needs to burn almost everything, except for tires and similarly harmful things.” The government estimates that 40,000 people died annually from premature deaths from air pollution before the current crisis.
Forests are being hammered. In Estonia and Finland, forests that had been set aside to capture carbon dioxide to reduce climate change are now being so heavily logged that they are net emitters. Hungary lifted conservation regulations so old-growth forests could be logged; it then banned the export of wood pellets. “People buy wood pellets thinking they’re the sustainable choice, but in reality, they’re driving the destruction of Europe’s last wild forests,” said one conservationist. Wood pellets prices have doubled even in nuclear-heavy France which, under pressure from Germany, and in the grip of renewable energy mania, had been shutting down its nuclear plants so rapidly that it had stopped properly maintaining them. Romania has been forced to cap the price of firewood, which had skyrocketed. Burning wood releases more greenhouse gas emissions than burning coal, something most experts finally acknowledge.
And Europe is returning to coal as quickly as it can. This year it increased thermal coal imports more than any other region. Coal imports increased by 36% more during the first eight months of 2022 than of 2021. Europe’s coal imports are today 10% of the global total. Germany is importing coal from South Africa, which is ironic because, just one year ago, Germany gave South Africa $810 million in exchange for an agreement that South Africa not use coal. And at the United Nations climate change talks in Scotland less one year ago this month, the UN created a special CGI dinosaur to warn all nations, but particularly Africans, that they must not use fossil fuels, and instead do what Europe was doing and, supposedly, transitioning away from fossil fuels to renewables.
In response to this unfolding ecological horror show, Greta Thunberg, Greenpeace, WWF, Extinction Rebellion, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), Sierra Club, and the Natural Resources Defense Council have mobilized millions of people to take to the streets across the Western world to demand the building, continued operation, and re-start of shuttered nuclear plants; the expedited building of liquefied natural gas (LNG) import and export terminals in Europe and North America; and expanded natural gas production in North America; and the beginning of fracking in Europe. “The energy crisis and the climate crisis have the same solution!” shouted Thunberg to a cheering audience in Germany, many of whom had glued themselves to a nuclear plant at risk of premature closure. “We need to immediately expand the use of nuclear power and natural gas to prevent the burning of garbage, wood, and coal!” In response, Germany and Belgium announced the continued operation of nuclear plants and the re-starting of closed ones, and President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the expedited production of natural gas and LNG.
I’m kidding, of course. No, what climate activists have actually done is the exact opposite.
Many ironic lols here at these Euro climate clowns. How are we any better with our open Mexican border? With illegals flooding in at 2 million per year.
Don’t cap prices like that. Market forces help keep people from buying more than they need and prevent stockpiling.
Why a war on natural gas? I’ll donate my design on a Dutch oven and the gas is wildly unnatural.
I’ve heard liberals burn bright and clean. You can power entire cities with them.
I hope their parents put them outside in the cold this winter.
If every liberal and environmentalist killed themselves, Earth would be cured...
Reality bites!
Suddenly the Leftist Watermelon Party agrees that traditional fuels are necessary.
They haven’t yet woken to the fact that coal is better than burning wood.
But, they will get there before the end of winter.
No fan of putting or Ukraine, I think we, the USA and NATO should leave them alone to resolve the conflict. That said I think Russia is winning that front of the war. Cut off fuel is a casualty for many countries in Europe.
Dried cattle dung can be used too...if they have any left.

Burn that crap up! Great photo of St doing his training. Philly is awful there days. A no-go zone for whites
That scene you posted will never happen again.
Soon Europe will smell like Pakistan. One of my friends in the navy said you could smell Pakistan way out to sea.
The stench of burning trash.
I’ve spent several nights in the woods, freezing with out a source of heat.
This type of death is horrible, and millions may now die this way.
Natural gas has the smallest molecule of fossil fuels and American NG undergoes a thorough cleaning process before it is delivered to the customer.
Climate activists should be in the loony bin.
>>Many ironic lols here at these Euro climate clowns<<
We have as many clowns here in America and the greatest of them all is ensconced in the WH.
I’ve read that the Northern European countries have always burned their garbage for energy. What is unburnable or unrecyclable is then used to pave their roads.
Sadly enough,......I believe it
