Green Hypocrisy: Multinationals Demand Stricter Net Zero Targets
Coca Cola Europe, Unilever and Velux, among others, have demanded Brussels slash its greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040 - worsening ordinary people's lives while they get away with carbon offsetting scams.
The companies say the bloc the target to avoid passing “irreversible tipping points."
Measures should include accelerating electrification and phasing out fossil fuels, all while boosting EU and national budgets for climate and nature, they say.
Meanwhile, they continue to do the exact opposite in the Global South?

The Zeche Zollern museum in Dortmund has prohibited white people from entering its ‘This is Colonialism’ exhibit on Saturdays, so a “safe space” for non-whites can be reserved, the venue says.
The exhibition has been open for a number of months, but a scandal emerged recently when a white journalist from a radio station was forbidden from entering.
“The affected people can be themselves and talk among themselves… discuss a topic for oneself and with oneself and then just be free from other people," said Barbara Rüschoff-Parzinger of the Department of Culture for the Regional Association of Westphalia-Lippe.

The Community News project in the UK, France and Germany, designed to “keep journalism sustainable,” according to Zuck’s right-hand man Nick Clegg, will be shuttered as it can’t deal with the rise of TikTok.
The project was launched to help deflect criticism over its dominance of online news and digital marketing, with approximately £13.5m invested into trainee programmes, but it was all to waste as the company switches to short form video.
Oh dear, what a shame.

The Dutch government has handed billions in rebates to large companies at the expense of small and medium-sized firms, a climate action group has warned.
“From shipping (€6.7bn) to aviation (€2.4bn) and from fossil electricity (€5.4bn) to the oil processing industry (€2.4bn), large consumers receive rebates, tax breaks, exemptions, or favourable tax rates,” the SOMO group stated.
Even the eco-mob were forced to admit this was unfair as “small and medium-sized companies usually pay full price for their gas and electricity consumption,” while big corporations get discounts, they said.
The group then called for an end to all subsidies.
Better idea: Subsidise working people and small companies and don't give in to expensive, impractical green energy?

Margrethe Vestager is leaving her role as Commissioner in the EC to try to become head of the EIB, she announced on X.
While in the role of de facto deputy PM of Denmark, she helped American spies harvest intelligence from Germany, Sweden, and a raft of other EU countries.
As competition commissioner, she also oversaw a massive increase in laws which have turned Brussels into the bloated regulatory superpower it is today.
At the WEF forum in 2020, she outlined her vision for making the EU a single market for data, and she was influential in drawing up the Orwellian Digital Services Act.

The energy producer is now a member of the forum’s First Movers Coalition (FMC) of companies, set up by John Kerry to develop carbon-removal technologies to reach global Net Zero.
Will Gardiner, Drax Group CEO, said the commitment is “essential to accelerating the deployment of climate-saving technologies like bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS).”
Drax plans to invest billions in global carbon removals and renewable energy projects, with the aim of capturing 14Mt a year of carbon removals by 2030 globally.
Be prepared for some new experimental green technology…

That's right. There is now a whole channel called Heart Rocket, which pumps out endless videos for lonely Western men, advising them how to nail fresh Ukrainian arrivals either in the bedroom or as a wife.
There's something a bit sinister about this.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has spent almost €117,000 on VIP services at Dublin airport in the last 18 months - all while people struggle to make ends meet and the country wrestles with accommodation issues.
Bureaucrats lapped up personalised check-ins and security, fancy suites for relaxation, drinks and dining, and a chauffeur-driven car to and from the airport, Independent IE revealed.
Two separate bills of €8,778 were ran up while welcoming US President Biden to the country earlier in 2023, and a similar-sized bill was found for a delegation to meet Spanish President Pedro Sanchez’s in August.
The department has defended the spending, saying that “the use of airport VIP facilities mitigates risks” and “ensures discretion,” adding it had been able to get a “preferential rate” for the services.
They’re laughing in the faces of the public.
