Great news from the European Union: The European Parliament today dealt a blow to the EU's flagship climate change programs

Good news coming from the European Union have become extremely rare these days. That's why it gives such a great pleasure to announce that the European Parliament today has decided to more or less scrap two of EU's flagship climate change programs:

- The European Parliament dealt a blow (hopefully a deadly one) to the EU's idiotic cap-and-trade system.

- The European Parliament backed a proposal to freeze charges on carbon emissions on intercontinental flights in order to prevent a global trade dispute (which the European Union was bound to lose)
