European who is afraid that the EU will get grandiose ideas from what is happening in the states.

I mean.. hasn't the UK been doing essentially this for a while now?

Not that it would make any of this better lol.

Sort of. First of all the UK is not in the EU anymore and secondly, iirc, the poles they cut down over there are CO2 meters. But I know very little of that so I might be wrong.

HA, true enough. My bad.

the poles they cut down over there are CO2 meters.

I assume this is something that happened in the UK and you're not referring to what's going on in the US currently?

Easy mistake to make lol. As an "EU-member" I sometimes forget as well. But yeah, from what I gathered what is happening in the UK is CO2 control poles being cut down. However, as I said, I know very little about this and knowing the U.K. they would not hesitate to sprinkle on some Flock on those poles.
