Poland's CO2 Break

EU is allowing Poland to retain higher quotas on CO2 gas emissions. The EU is departing from its ambitious plans of curbing carbon dioxide emissions by 20% the the next decade.

The main burden for achieving this goal has been assigned to members of the Old Fifteen, the more developed countries which were members of the bloc before expansion in 2004. The exact targets for individual countries are yet to be set, even though the document setting out EU energy strategy will be published shortly. Poland complained that the targets originally set were too restrictive for an economy striving for quick economic growth.


Judging by the direction of the US economy - we should get a break too. A country can over spend and over regulate itself to economic death. I think I'll put another log in the fireplace. I thought they said there was Global Warming, but I'm freezing my dupa off.

BTW, the stacks shown here are neither in Poland or the US. These are big, bad communis sacks. Shown only for affect.
