EU has done its part, but all efforts are just drop in the ocean. Also, can these studies be trusted? EU basically throws money anything "green" (except buying forests and making them protected), so naturally these studies benefit from it. | ||

> EU basically throws money anything "green" Including paying to have wood pellets shipped across the Atlantic using bunker fuel and then calling it "bioenergy" The EU is 'clean' largely out of it's own limited access to fossil fuels and other energy resources rather than because they are "doing their part". | ||

Protecting forests is good and all, but it will not reverse climate change. We'll have to stop all fossil fuel burning and, additionally, sequester around 600 billion tonnes of CO2 (in addition to all the natural carbon sinks) to get back to +1.5C by 2100. | ||

EU has a lot of historic emissions to make up for. | ||
