We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions in the EU have shown one of the steepest drops in decades. Brussels said the data showed that tackling climate change does not need to put the brakes on economic growth. 

The European Environment Agency (EEA) on Thursday reported an 8% fall in EU-wide emissions linked to global warming in 2023, citing a significant decline in fossil fuels and a rise in the use of renewables.

The 27-country bloc is the world's fourth biggest emitter of greenhouse gases after India, China and the United States.

Wasn't this also correlated with a lot of carbon heavy EU industries migrating to parts of the world with cheaper labor force and energy?

Today I read an article in DW, that in Germany

In July industrial production was almost 10% below the level it had been at, at the beginning of 2023.

Probably it’s both: the low industry production and the successful switch of power creation towards renewables
