The problem with the EU is that you have 27 unelected, unaccountable commissioners who are the only people who are allowed to introduce legislation into the EU Parliament for the MEPs to rubber stamp. Now by far the biggest green political party and movement is in Germany, so when it is their commissioner for Energy they will follow a green agenda and make directives all countries have to obey. The same is happening with German TUV rule for vehicle modifications. So through the EU we are ending up with all of the worst extreme legislation from the 27 EU countries, dumped on all EU countries. This is basically where the EU is designed for French law, French Hegmony and a French power block to boss the world and for the survival of French socialism. The rise of the BRICS means it will never happen, but the economic destruction and misery they will cause in the meantime, will be every bit as bad as that of WWII, except there will be no US Marshall plan this time when it is eventually all over.
Then add this toxic mix into the EU system where many former extreme animal rights groups, anarchists, far left political parties that were rightly dismissed by mainstream society, have found they can get credibility, traction and power in society by joint the green religion and political parties. They are political dreamers against and out to destroy a modern capitalist society. Their aim is not ecology but the destruction of our current society to be replaced with their Marxist utopia. Now their aims and the EU aims to destroy EU country's democracies coincide, so why should we be surprised that they are such cosy bed fellows, except to the EU I'm sure they are just useful fools to help their consolidation of power.
Now to show what utter bunkum and how dangerous this climate change rising CO2 farce is follow these articles and my reasoning. CO2 has been falling for millions of years and it has caused a major problems for the last 2.6million years where CO2 levels have been at historical lows and caused the last ice age. We are still in this ice age with a frozen Greenland and Arctic circle. Over the last 800,000 years MOST of the time Northern Europe has been cover in ice sheets. It is only in the last few thousand years with melting ice and rising seas that the UK has become an island.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_ageNow this progression and receding of ice has been cyclic. For the last 25,000 years we have been in a warmish period. From a cold period to a warm period, typically take over 10,000 years to occur, but to go from a warm period to a cold period takes ONE to 25 years. What causes this? There is no scientist on earth who knows, but they think is might be linked to sea currents, so when will the next overdue cold period start when the temperature will drop over 5degC over a year and the ice begins to advance, which reflects sunlight to make it colder still, so you end up 10-18degC colder. Nobody knows. But when it happens the temperature drop affects predominately the Northern hemisphere, in fact the south will get warmer. So the rising CO2 levels, might actually save Northern civilization, which will be wiped out by an ice age, along with mass extinction of the Northern hemisphere ecosystem.

As one species dies another takes over. The mass extinction of the dinosaurs allowed mammals and us to evolve and become the predominant animals.
Even global warming scientists now admit that the earth is going to cool for the next the next 30 years, due to various sun cycles that combine to increase or decease the sun's energy output and the Earth's position and distance from the sun, which I learn't recently does happen as part of my research, out of curiosity, into what is the Earth's optimum temperature for life and mankind and how do we stop the next ice age. Which is to me the real question that we should be asking but nobody is?
