https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-68841141

This is how worthless promises and talking about something (without action) is.

Bullets not bees: EU ditches green focus ahead of June election

A draft priority list for the next five years goes heavy on defense, barely mentioning climate change.

A quick scan of a leaked EU priority list for the rest of the decade reveals a telling quirk: The only mention of โ€œenvironmentโ€ is a promise to create a โ€œbusiness-friendly #environment.โ€

Instead, the document โ€” essentially a mood board EU leaders compile every five years to guide the incoming EU executive in Brussels โ€” is littered with references to defense, security and migration. Climate change is barely mentioned. Nature and biodiversity donโ€™t feature at all.

The draft, still subject to change before EU leaders endorse it after the June European Parliament election, reflects months of talks between European Council President Charles Michel and the heads of state and government he represents. And it serves as a neat illustration of their shifting priorities

Itโ€™s a marked difference from 2019, the last time EU leaders set out their vision. That โ€œstrategic agendaโ€ put climate change front and center, calling it an โ€œexistential threat.โ€ One of the #EUโ€™s top four priorities was โ€œbuilding a climate-neutral, green, fair and social #Europe.โ€

Europe's weather is turning from hot to cold. Learn about the upcoming dramatic temperature drop, possible snowfall, and the risk of frost across the continent.

April has continued with an astonishing warmth across Europe, with hundreds of monthly temperature records shattered across large parts of the continent. But this week, the historic #heatwave is coming to an end. And it will be a dramatic temperature change, from above +30 ยฐC over the weekend into single digits by mid-week. On top of it, a sharp cold front will likely bring snow into lowlands across central #Europe and the Balkan peninsula. Followed by an increasing risk of damaging frost.
