The European Union reached an agreement Tuesday to ban the import of products including coffee, cocoa and soy in cases where they are deemed to contribute to deforestation. The scope encompasses palm oil, cattle, soy, coffee, cocoa, timber and rubber as well as derived products such as beef, furniture and chocolate.
That should go over really well with the hoi polloi.
Meanwhile, I am sure the elites will continue to consume their fair share.

Lol, not even funny, but this is insanity. Two things are going to happen for us here. Either prices will go out of sight, or they will drop like a rock.
But this is coming here next...

Virtue signaling as a nation state policy. What could go wrong?
I think this ends with a Bastile Day.

Meanwhile, they’re importing US energy in record amounts.
This isn’t really about saving the planet, is it...

By outlawing deforestation, the EU is demanding it’s own depopulation.

With “deforestation” meaning anything that competes with whomever gives them money.

Good, outlaw solar first.that accounts for the lion’s share of deforestation in NE.
To: bert
It’s also stupid. There are far more forests in Europe and the USA now than there were 100, 200, 300 years ago.
Why? Because oil and gas created a separate fuel source than wood that was burned (and which had exponentially higher greenhouse output).

The European gruel ration was doubled from 1 KG/day/adult to .5 KG/day ... the European masses were joyous because such a doubling helped to reduce “climate change” ...

Illegal production has spurred massive deforestation.. Illegal? Illegal where? What laws were broken that governments were incapable to enforce punishment?
No farms, no energy, and no imports. The EU is establishing a curious model for economic growth.

Meanwhile, they deforest huge swaths of Scandinavian woodlands in order to built wind farms that EXPORT the energy to Germany.
Some of the Scandinavian folks who have you tube channels have spoken about this - some of them were liberal tree huggers and this was a real eye opener for them.

“The EU is establishing a curious model for economic growth.”
They are trying to destroy the producers and whole nations by banning the demand. In turn they will mess it up for everyone globally. Which is of course the plan behind it. These commodities will become unavailable for everyone world wide as the end result. We already have a historic example of this with the Fur trade. This will go the same way.

Scofflaws are fined 4% of the value of product, effectively raising prices while doing nothing otherwise.
