The European Commission presented this week “Fit for 55”, a package of measures aimed at developing the European Climate Law.

The media linger on the end of cheap flights and the ban on the sale of cars with combustion engines by 2035. But first and foremost it is a way to inflate the speculative emissions market at the cost of higher fuel, heating, transport, food and construction prices.
