The EU agreed to cutting its greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2030. Sounds awesome! However, I still don't think this is enough to reverse the already inevitable disastrous effects of climate change. Despite that fact, it's great to see  leaders finally acknowledging climate change as a real problem, unlike in the US.
Another thing I didn't like about this article is that it concluded with the biggest barrier to this goal:Â how to share the financial burden of moving away from fossil fuel and investing in a greener energy mix. I think this it is more important to focus on the burdens that not addressing climate change will caused AND the benefits of this shift to green energy.
