Who needs earth to live when we have pollution?
What Europe needs is more deregulation and to see if it can transform itself into the dumpster fire that is the United States

Conservatives siding with fascists to stop progress, such a rare and unexpected thing!

I’m sure destroying the environment will “reduce regulatory burdens” of european companies. Who cares about the EU’s hellish bureaucracy and actually streamlining their governments instead?
Aimed at making european companies competitive again… what a joke

Conservatives and far right , brothers in arms.
Why I’m not surprised, both are sponsored by the same .

While saddening, it’s quite understandable considering European companies aren’t as competitive as foreign ones that don’t follow the same environmental rules

Anyone able to explain the obsession against anything green from the right? Like in my mind, if I try to be as neutral as I can be, the most emotionless logical argument surely must be, “Best case it turns out we’re wrong and global warming tranrpires to be nothing. Worst case the planet is fucked and faces catastrophe. So let’s try to fix this in case the worst case turns out to be true, because if it is we’re all seriously fucked.”
Yet the actual resposne from the Right is: “OMFG we must not make any attempt to save the planet. It’s a hoax. Don’t even use the phrase “global warming” in my presence. Burn burn burn that oil!”
Like I swear I’m a die hard aetheist but if anything makes me think there might be a god and a devil, it’s the political right. Only people so obsessed with the destruction of humanity must follow their belief mindset. Only to be so truly hateful and enjoying the misery of others must they want to push this kind of agenda that is like, “We’re gonna drive this car off the cliff because even though I can see the cliff coming and you’re warning me of it, I don’t care, so long as I can still drive MY car right now.”
I often used to wonder how come humanity never figured out how to stop wars. Now I know why. Because there’ll always be around 40%+ of people on this planet that just rage inside, with selfish hateful vengance flooding their veins their whole lives.

These rules are the most idiotic thing in the world, not because of what they wanted to achieve (because that is noble), but because of their wishful thinking implementation. The wind will not stop blowing from China, India, and now even the US.

Green madness is driving European industry out of business, primarily to the benefit of China, which, unlike us, isn’t driven by crazy ideologies. Too many of you support industrial desertification in the name of green ideology, but there’s nothing green in the desert.

>It waters down EU laws on environmental disclosure and supply chain transparency rules, with the aim of reducing red tape to make it easier for European businesses to compete with overseas competitors.
>The changes backed by the Parliament would raise the threshold of corporate sustainability disclosure and due diligence rules so that even fewer companies will have to report on their environmental footprint. They would also scrap mandatory climate transition plans for companies under EU due diligence rules.
Is there a list of who voted for what?

People who are pro-regulation in this thread are obviously clueless as to how much it ruins Europes competitiveness. If we keep strangulating our own industry we will become the third world in the future. A poor shithole open air museum. This is necessary and a great step by von der Leyen and the commission.

Good ! The majority of Europeans are concerned and fed up with the stupid green rules that just bring misery.

noooooooooo what do you mean europe doesn’t have to sacrifice themselves to save the world so india china and the us can keep polluting???????????????????

Good that they’re reversing course on this. The green deal has been a disaster for European businesses and our economy. Ultimately, not reduction of emissions by pricing and regulating, but the development of green technology will be the most decisive factor for transitioning to an emission-free economy and that will be a result of a strong economy and economic growth

I’d be happy about this if it would also drive prices down for local consumers, since the product is cheaper to produce, but I’m sure companies will just increase profit margins instead.

We should all fight for the climate. However, if the EU makes expensive rules without anybody else doing their part, we will just be expensive and less competitive.
