Huh he actually did...

Because the sacred cow here is not just that mass migration must stop going forward. It's also that millions who are already in Europe must go. Remigration has gone from a fringe concept to the mainstream discourse in record time on account of that realization.

I think all of the previous criticisms of him have been pretty questionable exaggerations by the far left but you can't argue with this one. Also I didn't know he had such idiotic views on climate change. Sure, get air conditioners. But...

Setting aside how much of global warming is due to man-made causes, the reality is that Europe is irrelevant to the equation either way. Just 6% of global emissions originate there. So even if the nirvana of net zero could be achieved, it would change nothing, yet cost the continent everything.

First, why do we need to set that question aside? It's not a question, we know the answer. Second, what does he think is going to happen if every country in the world says "well we only contribute <10% of the problem so it won't make any difference if we change anything"? What a tool.

Just 6% of global emissions originate there.

That would make us #4 for "Share of World": https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-by-country. Not insignificant.

3.3 billion tonnes CO2 per year (2024): https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/ddn-20260123-1

With a population of 449.2 million (2024) https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/ddn-20240711-1

That's about ~7.34 tonnes per capita (which would make us ~35th highest per-capita producer)

Not bad for 27 countries.

If you can not solve a problem, don't contribute to it's solution. Terrible and a purely defeatist attitude for a continent dependent on an stream that has made the continent livable, but is on decline. This guy is turning into Stupidity 101
