kravietz 🦇 (npub1vz5…qdta) Seems like it's in part a case of "perfect is the enemy of good" (though the "perfect" here is entirely opinionated (not mine)) and the EU moving extremely slowly. Afaik starting 2027 a new border CO2 compensation regime starts being phased in, with a full rollout bi mid 30s. As in imports get taxed based on difference of CO2 emmissions within EU and the place of origin. Which in principle for a global free market ideology (which afaik most of EU is based on) is better than flat tarifs, as it still allows production where it is most effective, while leveling the "climate-cost-playing-ground". Just absolutely ridiculous how late it comes into play. Plus I am sure if you look closer, you'll find loopholes abound and overall way too low climate cost estimates. Plus all the non-climate related things you mention aren't covered. So yeah maybe it's better described as "the right intention might actually be there, execution is just botched up massively". Does that make any sense or am I entirely besides the topic here?
