40%! What? 40%? Sounds like a whole lotta people "gotta go" (if you get my meaning) if the have any chance of even coming close to those numbers. You just can't convince some people that unicorns aren't actual animals in the real world.

It is within the deep work of Social Artistry that we can access the inner capacities to align ourselves with the earth's higher purpose.

This is the mentality we're dealing with here. The "education" system has finally achieved its goal, to take the normal human brain and turn it into rotting entrails.

They never achieved their previous targets so I wouldn’t worry too much. It’s the same as a politician telling us he’ll balance the budget 10 years after he’s dead.

The European Union has just committed economic suicide, by agreement a landmark deal, to cut the European economy by 40% by 2030

which will cut the economy even more than that because of the huge increase in bureaucracy that the cuts entail.

No sense couching reality. zer0 and his euro trash allies are working on that as we speak and you and I know that is the purpose of Ebola.

Most of the cuts will be on the backs of the people who cannot afford the elec. bills or loose their job because their industry must cut back. These people have a death wish between their immigration policies, welfare and Green Goddess syndrome.

Let this statement leave no doubt that radical environmentalism is a religion to these people (as is liberalism in general). It's why they're immune to facts, logic, or reason.

What they say they're going to do and what they will REALLY do are two different things.

Look at how many countries actually adhere to the Kyoto Protocol

no nuclear....no fracking.....sure....

Have China and India agreed to cut emissions?

I seriously doubt it!

[3Fingas]

Talk is cheap. They just give lip service to this goal.

Maybe China and India would cut emissions, if environmentally friendly countries were to place tariffs on imports from countries that pollute the environment.

This would not only save the planet, but create a level playing field for domestic manufacturers who are environmentally conscious.

But ain't gonna happen, because if we made things in America again, it would cost a fortune to buy those things, and the inflation caused by decades of government mishandling of the economy would be all too evident, even to the biggest boob.

Welcome to the EU.

Is there any part of society that liberalism doesn’t destroy?

Didn’t Australia recently repeal their carbon reduction law?

[Leo Carpathian]

and trees will be suffocating from the lack of CO2

Actually, it’s murder. The people deciding on this won’t be affected by their decision.
