Italy's Meloni warns EU green policies risk 'industrial desertification'
reuters.com
Following heavy lobbying, the European Commission proposed allowing automakers to meet the targets based on their average emissions over the period 2025-2027, rather than just this year.
Real desertification from pollution and climate change is A-OK, of course.
A fascist spouting bullshit? How quaint.

I just found this other post:
Investment funds featuring green labels and names like “Sustainable Global Stars” continue to hold stakes in the fossil energy majors which drive the climate crisis.
An EU crackdown on greenwashing looks imminent.
To parse it for the likes of Meloni: we are far too nice to corporations anyhow. This "imminent crackdown" really shouldn't worry you too much. But I'm sure you want to make your big donors proud and started another rant anyhow. This is what far-right populists do: fear- and hatemongering. Fuck all the way off. But unfortunately this model is on the rise and permeating more "normal" (at least until recently) right-wing parties. Yet another reason to fell the global poster child of neofascism rather sooner than later.
And in 2027 they suddenly realize that they can't meet those targets anymore so the legislation needs to be changed...
