Experts say a new proposal to weaken the EU's flagship climate policy is "the perfect excuse" for polluters to demand similar changes elsewhere. It's "a belt of ammunition for industrial lobbyists," said Wijnand Stoefs, w/ @carbonmarketwatch.bsky.social. @grist.org: grist.org/internationa...

⛓️ Fossil fuels are not a choice. They are a trap. Every delay to climate action keeps people trapped in expensive imports and volatile prices. The ETS2 will help people break free from this toxic cycle. It must be defended, not delayed or weakened. ✍️ Sign our petition: life-effect.org/petition/
