Foreword for the avoidance of doubt. Those opposed to European green follies (Timmermans’, to be clear) are not climate change deniers, but they are about reconciliation economic sustainability with the environment. A path that the Old Continent has been following for decades now, but now apparently wants to continue along this path and eliminates one of the two components. And of course the damage is at the expense of the citizens.
The big polluters
While in Asia we’re polluting like there’s no tomorrow, while the China Having reopened coal-fired power plants, producing 50 percent of the world’s coal and remaining the sole owner of the world’s CO2 production, it’s Bloomberg who reveals the numbers that are of great concern to the environmental Taliban.

In a chart showing the world’s top five polluters and comparing them to other countries around the world, Bloomberg analyzes how it’s done a third of global pollution (exactly 32.9 percent) is produced directly from China. Then the USA follows at a clear distance of around 20 percentage points (12.6 percent). And you will say: where do we Europeans position ourselves? Only in third place, with 7.3 percent pollution, almost level with India at 7 percent. Next comes the Russian Federation at 5.1 percent and the rest of the world, which is the other big piece of the pie at 35.1 percent.
EU paradox
In short: It is clear that the 27 EU countries do not represent the problem of the alleged “destruction of the planet”. And indeed, we are the ones who fall into the paradox of excellence: With the crazy green impositions à la Timmermans, we not only “save” not the earth, but We sell our economic and productive fabric entirely. In addition, there is the electric street, where China (followed by the USA) dominates worldwide in the automotive sector.
A paradox that also explains the Lega Nord well Marco Zanni, who took up the graphic on his Twitter profile and commented: “Bloomberg publishes this graphic on the major polluters. The EU is the blue wedge weighing 7.3%. It signifies the green madness of Timmermans and Von der Leyen it will cost us the destruction of industry and agriculture and enormous sacrifices for families for a ridiculous benefit.” Enormous sacrifices that will be seen in a few years, for example with the housing directive or the ban on sales of petrol and diesel cars from 2035. China is now laughing about it.
