The Dutch Revolt Against Net Zero And The EU’s ‘Climate Pope’
One of the big losers of this week’s Dutch elections, in which right-winger Geert Wilders romped to victory, was Frans Timmermans, leader of a newly formed alliance of the Labour and Green parties.
Timmermans is best known internationally as the former vice-president of the European Commission, where he was the architect and face of the EU’s flagship climate policy, the European Green Deal. [emphasis, links added]
To fans, he was hailed as the EU’s ‘climate pope’. Yet it is no exaggeration to say his stringent climate targets are set to impoverish Europe.
It seems the European mainstream media are finally taking note of the disastrous consequences of Timmermans’s Net Zero zealotry.
Last week, Politico warned that his EU climate policies could be about to set off a wave of deindustrialization on a scale we haven’t seen in 50 years.
