EU fossil fuel CO2 emissions hit 60-year low https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/24/eu-fossil-fuel-co2-emissions-hit-60-year-low?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Yeah but no but…

Let’s celebrate this at face value.

But let’s not lose sight of the fact that much of what EU consumes is now imported; ie the CO2 emissions have been outsourced.

Add back in the full CO2e of all imports and what does that tell us about the real emissions of a ‘growing economy’. I guess the carbon border adjustment tax will soon reveal all.
