With the narratives being pushed by the Berlaymont over the last 12 months, the misinterpretation of data to deliver the wishes of big businesses should come as a surprise to no one.

How the EU distorts data to justify green deregulation
The EU’s telephone game distorts studies to fit a narrative—turning green reporting into a competitiveness threat, despite little evidence that deregulation would boost competitiveness.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
