 "Ursula von der Leyen speaks about Green Deal as backlash over environmental policies grows"

Europe has a far bigger problem than a lame-duck English prime minister when it comes to watering down environmental policies. 

It's time the little people to take control of the environmental narrative.

 @c242de9f Ah, but the little people aren't fans of green policies either.

Or let me rephrase it. They fully support them. As long nothing changes for them. A truly traditional case of NIMBYism.

Sure, do as much as you want for the environment and the climate. But could you please lock up the "climate terrorist" that is bothering my commute. And if you consider a speed limit on the Autobahn, well, that's not even funny in comedy.
