Right and forcing Europe to choose between coal and getting freezes is not threatening climate efforts I guess?

The gaslighting. The usage of energy isn't the cause, its the source of the energy.

They did this with recycling too, its the individual's responsibility to save the planet, not the companies packaging their products terribly to save a buck.
