18th July 2019 EU commission Bans 2030 dirty car sales ban!

*

Thursday 18th 63-72?F calm and sunny start and warming quickly. I had to take my jacket off on the walk back from the lanes. Yesterday's rows of hay on the prairie were already baled and removed.

We have run out of some vital items so a slightly longer ride seems imminent. The local supermarket had run out of everyday items again. Just the price of running a shopping chain with infant labour. Clouding over as promised by the seaweed gropers now.

A late morning, hilly ride for 14 miles to be cheated again by the supermarket crooks having no stock of their "special offers." How many items constitute a minimum number of everyday goods, per week, to qualify as a special offer? One? Two? Three per branch? How soon can they restock after the special offers end?  One minute? Two? Isn't it odd that Denmark has no consumer protection?

Meanwhile the Danish <cough>environment<cough> minister has just approved an agricultural poison which is banned by the EU. Is this really what the Danes voted for in their recent election for a massive swing towards the left of green? This comes after years of environmental ignorance and trashing of existing standards by the right wing "Farmers Rool, OK, Party"

I wonder if this environment  minister believes in Global Warming? Or is he another Denialist? The headlines are promising a 70% reduction in CO2 by 2230 2130 2030. Including taxing airline tickets for those taking their 5th foreign holiday in a year.

With only the 3rd electric car [ever] to be rolled out onto a celebratory green carpet and thence onto Danish roads they have a very long way to go in only 11 years. By which time much of Denmark will probably look more like Carolina's Wetlands. They'll only be selling electric amphibious vehicles by then.

I wonder how many people check the height above sea level when buying their next house? You never see it mentioned in the estate agent's blurb. Large areas of Denmark will soon be strictly for The Welly & Waders Brigade. With a private submarine jetty to every back garden.

Denmark only has a canal system after heavy rainfall. When all the underpasses are set aside for fishing contests once the sunken vehicles have been cleared. They'll soon have to waterproof the electric scooters against 2 meters of immersion! And, provide emergency snorkels and masks in a 'smart' locked container.
