Chancellor Gergely Gulyás indicated that Hungary will veto the European Commission's latest carbon dioxide reduction plan called "fit for 55". Economist Károly Lóránt writes in Magyar Hírlap about why this would be an unfortunate step and what he proposes as a solution. We publish a shortened version of his writing.
In my opinion, this would not do us any good now, because Angela Merkel and her Western politicians, the media and especially the Greens preparing for the German elections attribute the natural disaster that took place in recent days, claiming more than a hundred victims, to climate change, and such a veto would mean that we hinder the fight against climate change.
In the eyes of Western media and politicians, Viktor Orbán This would be better avoided. It is also not worth referring to the Hungarian overhead reduction, because no one in Western Europe is interested, but the destruction of European industry and within that German car production will be of interest. This is the point where the latest insanity from Brussels can be stopped , and then we will not be lone fighters, we will have allies.
It would be best to question the whole nonsense at its foundations, i.e. to ask the question whether human (anthropogenic) carbon dioxide emissions are really the cause of the warming of the Earth, or whether other causes are fundamentally involved. Anthropogenic climate change is typically a political issue, represented by the green parties, the liberal media, and in the field of science, "climate scientists" who don't know anything else and those meteorologists who have problems with even the ten-day weather forecast...
...Let me quote Richard Siegmund Lindzen , who was the author of Chapter 7 of the third report of the IPCC: "In the coming centuries, historians will surely be amazed at the depth of the false logic, disguised as cunning and ruthless propaganda, which is a coalition of powerful and special interests made it possible for almost everyone in the world to believe that anthropogenic CO2 is a dangerous, harmful and planet-destroying substance. It will be recorded as the biggest mass misconception that CO2, which gives life to plants, was for a time considered a deadly poison."
I would consider it very important to start the fight against climate hysteria at the basics, at the theory, and in this, extremely broad international cooperation could be established for a fraction of the money that climate propaganda has received so far. I still don't think that the prime ministers in the Council of the European Union would be receptive to discussing scientific issues, but they will be hurt by the destruction of European industry and the public dissatisfaction that the "fit for 55" program will have on the standard of living of Europeans (decrease in real income, unemployment) .
The price of irrational ideas will be paid by society as a whole in one form or another, as happened here with Gerő-Rákosi's bulbous economic development ideas in the early 1950s.
I think a realistic Hungarian and V4 proposal could be that the national energy and climate plans for the forty percent reduction in carbon dioxide have been completed, and if they want to push this, then a detailed feasibility study should first be prepared, partly on the technical possibilities, partly on their costs and the about the possible time course of the whole process...
…Brussels, that is, the European Commission, must be forced to develop feasibility studies that can be carried out both technologically and financially in order to achieve the goals it proposes. If the companies and population bearing the actual burdens will face the realities, then this new attack on nation-states by bureaucrats and representatives in Brussels who are responsible for nothing and democratically unaccountable for their stupidity can be repelled.
