Gravitas Plus: Europe's hypocrisy on fossil fuels
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2022
- Europe promised to lead the world on climate change. It lectured developing nations for relying on coal. Now the same Europe is conveniently buying coal and restarting coal-fired power plants. What happened to its climate goals? Can it still preach others? Palki Sharma exposes Europe's hypocrisy.

EU and West are not used to this kind of journalism. 👍👍👍
We have plenty of media channels that denounce this. For years the left has had moral superiority. They're losing that now. It was a stupid idea to close Nuclear Power Plants and rely on Russia
EU is not used to critical journalism? - of course we are, ridiculous comment.

In the Netherlands I saw the mountains of imported coal in the port of Amsterdam growing long before the government announced to go back to 100% usage of coal. So they already knew they were going to use coal at least 2 months before announcing it. All was planned.

You would be knowing that Africa is still colonised. Look at Rwanda PM, he is ruler since 22 years only because he serves his master. Only when a new axis power emerges, can Africa be liberated. Btw, their entire culture has been destroyed completely. They have nothing left to revive sadly. Sick to see what humans can do to other for their benefit. 😓

Great channel. I'm Irish , a farmer. Our Green government are reckless, leaving our country the least prepared for winter in Europe with zero gas storage facilities. Zero Covid and now Zero carbon are both ruinous policies.
I'm pretty sure we will get the through the winter although at higher prices..If there a shortage in the UK than exports to the Europe will be cut first ...our interconnecter flows will only be cut if the UK domestically cuts it own gas but they are confident enough that would be happening this coming winter.
Ireland closed our peat power stations pre maturely, now we face blackouts next winter,and spiralling energy costs,well done on reporting this.

I wish Wion thought a bit more before airing. Their news smell like used underwear. Like abuse and old farts.
As an Asian, I would like to add that the EU used to strongly criticize our countries' use of nuclear power as well. Now we don't hear such accusations.
They don't listen anymore, because they improved the technology and only 10 years ago, they saw the possibility of better exploring the plant and this type of energy.
Well you are wrong in that. First EU is not one voice, but multi nations. Lots of EU nations have nucleat power plants. Even before the Ukraine was, EU desided that neuclear is green energy. But the nations are split over it.
Ppl should not mistake short time actions, like burn more coal ore more oil, with the will to go green. We will in the next years see massive investments, so Europa is self reliant on energy. I live in Denmark where the plan was for biogas to replace gas by 2034 now it looks like the goal will be achived in 2024. Trust me if there is something that can drive the European transformation to more green energy, It is what we see now.

Thank you Palki, you represent what American journalism (used) to be.
I'm English and she's completely correct about our hypocrisy. Anybody with a brain here can see it, clear as day.
Europe is going back to coal on a short term basis to compensate for its dependence on Russian oil. By choosing to implement sanctions and eliminating this dependence on Russia, it is giving a strong message of condemnation towards Russia's invasion of Ukraine's sovereignty. India meanwhile continues to provide Russia business by purchasing their cheap oil. How is it hypocrisy? Choosing to rely on coal on a short term basis to prevent a mass shortage of energy for its local population, while continuing to sanction Russia is a far better decision than relying on Russian Oil, revenues of which will indirectly be used to fuel the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The point being made, as you well know, is that Western, developed countries have been wagging their fingers at developing countries about using coal, but now that we, suddenly have realised that our remewal policies are a load of virtue signaling bollocks, we’ve suddenly decided that ‘oh, actually, no, coal’s fine on a short term basis’, because it suits us. THAT’s the hypocrisy.

Ok but how to explain that Europe's change in renewable energy generation has increased? If Europe was being hipocritical they would be SWAPPING renewable energy for coal. Europe is importing coal to combat the russian gas flow and you call them hypocrites?

I'm also hoping that the developing world takes advantage of this situation and double the prices of coal.
dont be so under ambitious. they r desperate. i would say increase it 1000%, they can afford it
Double? That's too low
They should increase to over 5000%. If developing countries are smart, they can take their money back through that route
Sell them coal? Developing countries should put sanctions on EU so it collapse already and wont slower them down anymore.
Right, and finally earn a profit in stead of being cheated and exploited.
Aaaahhh and what would be the effect? Prices go up on everything produced, and the developing countries would suffer... only those SELLING the coal would profit.... and if as usual, only the owners.

You dont seem to understand the basics in this matter. But neither does Wion.
Advancements to build renewable energy facilities was an important goal a lot of us Canadians some of whom were already working in the oil exploration fields that were wondering how to make extracting oil out of the ground better for the environment by for example making it more efficient too. Other nations were doing the same. Focusing only on what mankind hasen't in the western world achieved yet concerning climate change isn't going to help anyone.

The term "Carbon Footprint" was ivented by BP, the multinational oil corporation. Notice how they always attack coal, and not oil. The truth is, Climate change is almost completely in the control of massive corporations and the government, not the people driving to work and going on holidays. All the oil companies do is lobby governments to give them favourable regulation. The Carbon offsets and carbon credit industry is worth more than 250 Billion. Among the small groups of people planting trees, there are just massive corporations buying and selling credits to each other, which the governments can hand out. They don't care about solving the problem at all. Its all about cornering this new market and making it more profitable. WION, do your job.

As featured in last week tonight program
Thanks for the great insight 🌼.
What you said must be acknowledged and actively pursued to change for the better if we want to actually improve our environment; not play with legislated "credits" beaurocratic games anymore. It remindse of federal income tax brackets, and how the 10% elite controlled lawmakers hoodwink the 90% by putting high tax rates on the high income brackets, then add so many loophole exceptions that actual tax rates are very low for the richest 10%.
It's a subtle tool for redistribution of wealth from the poorest to the richest.
Warren Buffet is sn extremely wealthy
man of integrity
He understands and disagrees with all the loopholes that give the richest a deceptive free pass on paying taxes.
A few years ago he even made a video about the fact that by the time his accountant got through with his taxes (per the USA tax code) his taxes were less than his secretary pays.
Warren Buffet made the video to alert the 90% that their own government was screwing them over.
I really respect him.
Both the Democrats and Republicans are doing it to us.
We MUST HAVE AT LEAST 2 OR 3 NEW PARTIES.
Best if the existing two go away.
I live in coal country in the US. Zero emissions is a luxury value, affordable only in a wealth and security bubble.
In the meantime, we’ve lost jobs and population. Luxury values make the wealthy and secure feel good about their right-think, while depriving the working class of the ability to take care of their families.
The EU did not ditch their goals. As mentioned this is an emergency measure. Regular citizens are even turning to firewood(!) to ensure that they'll be able to keep themselves warm this coming winter. The EU failed to acknowledge the fact that if there was ever to be a conflict of any kind with Russia, there would be severe consequences for our energy supply. Our nuclear power plants are being shut down, it will take a decade to get new ones online. Our renewable energy sources are far away from being able to provide anywhere near 100% of the energy needed to keep things going.
On the other hand, the use of fossil fuel and the emissions from the EU can NOT be compared to that of others.
When we are talking about coal in particular, take a close look at India and China. Together they amount to about 60% of coal usage globally.
Both have signed the Paris agreement which is great but there's a lot of work to be done still (for all of us).
But at this point you could also argue that it's hypocritical for a country like India to go after the EU, especially when the only reason we're doing it is an energy/financial crisis. Let's stop pointing fingers at each other and try to continue to make a healthier world together.
You are talking about china and india, if you want quote something at least follow the data, USA and eu come ahead of india emissions, don't makeup a number like 60 percent, and while checking that check historic emissions by eu, you will be dumbfounded , eu is the single major cause of all thr the problems, we are facing today, racism, colonisation, ethnic cleansing, creating tensions between countries, all the so called amenities, you are so proud of was due to the spillage of millions of slaves blood.
@@maximuz9569 For the past 2 decades China emiited aprox. 20-25 billion tonnes of CO2, India emmited about 15 billion tonnes and the entirety of Asia exluding China and India emmited aprox. 30 billion tonnes. With the Nort-america (USA standing at 10-15 b tonnes and the EU standing at about 5 b tonnes. Those are the numbers on CO2 emissions. The 60% referred to the usage of coal as fuel. Those are the numbers I get from my sources. If you have data that shows otherwise, please share it
As far as the rest of your statemnt goes;
I'm not one who denies colonization but i thought this was about climate.
Either way
1.Racism and discriminattion exists everywhere. It's not exclusively a western (AKA white) thing. Same goes for slavery and colonization.
2. As far as ethnic cleansing is concerned: take a look at the Sikh-Punjab conflict or the Hindu-Muslim conflicts in India, Take a look at Mao or Paul Pot. Plenty of dead. Millions! Are you going to blame the white man for that? Slightly hypocrtical if you ask me.
3. No one is proud about what our ancestors did in the past. Of course not, it was awful. and monstrous

@@plinnytheother6107 And? That was not the argument. We still do not destroy as much of the environment as most third world countries do.
As a European I think this is a completely biased and unfair assessment. Many countries in Europe have switched (over the last 20 years which isn't too long) to 30-40% power generation from renewables. Could more have been done? Yes. But we were doing a fairly decent job of going fully green. I mean If we go to 90% production from renewables in 50 years that will be a huge success. It's not our fault Putin started a war in our backyard and pulled the plug on half our energy overnight. In fact if India didn't try to play both sides against the middle Putin might have been shut down sooner. Regardless we will have coal as a stop gap for an extra year or two which is inconsequential but in the long run it will actually be better for the environment. We were a bit too slow to go green but now instead of 30-50 years we will go green and finish our energy transformation sooner hopefully in 10-20 years because we won't make the mistake to be beholden to Russia ever again.
And who are you? - a leader of eu nation 😂😂😂.
And don't try to be so innocent. You knew very well the 'West vs East' thing isn't it? You put trust knowing things to the end or maybe that your leaders are idiots or maybe that you loved cheap energy resources because labor is expensive in europe or maybe that you were so innocent to not know that russia won't give a befitting reply to the west forming nato and separating ukraine from it.

As a European, albeit from Portugal, which already said "no return to coal" (zero energy comes from coal in Portugal, as of today), has no energy deficit, very little imports from russian gas, no nuclear energy, and relies on at least over 55% (often much more) on renewable energy now, with lots more being built.. I still feel ashamed that at a European level, that is completely not the case, and against all compromises previously done.

Please do not confuse terms. Climate change is obviously upon us, but its causes are not clear at all. Effective, practical actions we could take are even much less clear.
Whoever preaches, that stopping burning coal for power for your factories or gasoline in your cars will make everything right is brainwashed or financially motivated to say that. Everyone in developing countries has a right for maintaining their critical infrastructure.

The issue us they developed Europe using all forms of available fuel coal included abd when they reach the peak of their civilization they come to force third world countries to go green because they are at the green revolution stage of their economy, forgetting the third world countries have still to start using energy for industrial revolution. Now that they have their issues with Russia , the same Europe now sees nothing wrong with coal ,hypocrites
@@Kevin-fq3zh time will tell my friend. Dont celebrate too early. We know how to deal with such things.
Ofc 5-6 months ago Europe was talking about imposing carbon tax on developing countries like India Vietnam Indonesia etc now using coal
Palki is outstanding ! Great delivery of important topics,and highlighting the hypocrisy of Western governments.....Thank you,Palki and Wion !
Really good reflection. Brilliant.
The report that most likely cost Palki her job.
Too intelligent, too out spoken. One who never shy away from stating the truth.
And now the loudest voice of reason in our modern times have been silence. The 2pac of news media.
In the words of Pac, "The World Ain't Prepared For Us..."
Hypocrisy indeed!!! On one hand, the Dutch government is at war with its farmers over nitrogen levels. In the other hand, let burn more coal. Don't think the farmers have not seen this.
free farmers, free ukraine
So are we supposed to go out of energy? This is dumb all of our green energy infrastructure is active and continuous to be used we are using coal to replenish the energy we stopped getting from Russia until our green energy infrastructure is concluded...it’s a short time solution as building green energy infrastructure takes its time...this Indians seem to not understand business and politics

There is no Hypocrisy here. Hypocrisy would be what india is doing by importing Chinese goods. Indians in 2020 said we will ban chinese goods and then the next year broke all records of importing Chinese goods by importing almost 79Billion USD worth of Chinese goods.

I cease this opportunity to extend my unalloyed thanks to you Honorable presenter and your team. Your commitment to courage, truth, your audacious and intrepid boldness titilates. Keep doing your good works...
However for Europe there could be better ways to handle the energy crisis as not to abate further consequences on nature.
This is the outcome of war.... please end war, end crisis.... war anywhere is war everywhere. At least we can now see the consequences of Russian-Ukrainian conflict as the Europe jerks for survival... recession, energy crisis,... is taking its toll. God save mother earth.

Palki said that Russia cut off its supply of natural gas to Europe. According to the Duran, for example, this is false, and Europe cut itself off of Russian gas, supposedly in an attempt to hurt the Russian economy, in an apparently solidarity with Fascist Ukraine. Am I knit picking?, yeah, maybe I guess. But on the other hand, it's kind of glaring inaccuracy. Most of Europe, under the influence of the European commission imposed sanctions on Russia banning the importation of Russian natural gas and oil. But Hungary, for example, refused to agree and reveived an exemption. Apparently Bulgara is currently attempting to resecure access to Russian gas because it desperately needs it. It's all seems very messed up, but it seems Europe is basically facing a self-imposed energy crisis because it doesn't want to continue using Russian energy. Cheers
Let us face east ...and pull out of this world demigod. Brics andAfcfta .
CLIMATE CHANGE IS BIG LIE ITS NOT TRUTH.PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS RIGHT.
I don’t know how but the entire Australian media missed this one. Even though our coal played a big part. Amazing.
The Germans and therefore probably the EU, made a decision to become dependent upon Russian energy. How absurd was that? Trump (and others) warned the EU, but they knew better being so attached to the global climate emergency UN/WEF fraud. They now suffer the consequences. Extraordinary gullibity by the EU. Breathtaking incompetence! The EU need to get themselves out of this self inflicted mess by generating more coal, gas or uranium fired electricity! Sooner the better - though its too late for this winter. Many Europeans will perish as a result (hypothermia and hunger) of this EU stupidity. And despite this evidence - Australian socialists are determined to walk off the same cliff.
because they are whites, very similar to europe.
Brilliant journalism! 👏 👏 👏

Because no one is ready for green energy. You gotta get set up for green energy first before you can shut down major coal energy plants. The honest truth is the demand for energy is far greater then what green energy will ever be able to provide.

Are you referring to the fact that only China has more coal power plants than India and the fact that India imported 25 million tons of coal during one month alone in June of 2022?
@@larrydavidson8502 did India promised to not to buy coal during COP26?

And now please open your search engine and search for the energy and coal usage by India and compare it your own country, with 1.4 b population, India is the only country to have had least coal consumption, and every imports of coal doesn't mean it was entirely used by India, the neighbouring countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan are highly dependent on coal that is why India buys a lot..

Not really. She is reading from a teleprompter. The real heroes are the ones who wrote the script. Unless it was written by her.
Yeah, she's epic at pointing out Western hypocrisy while not looking at her own country. She is the same as every other countries self serving media. The problem is everyone else never ourselves.
@@eablot8592 jealous. Are you a better news presenter than her? Just jealous Pakistani?
and ignore problems in india.
good show, what astonishes me is the disappearance of the hybrid vehicle and developing that technology, it seems hybrids could have realistically bridged the gap of from gasoline to electric, but in the zeal to absolutely eliminate gasoline now they're struggling for energy.
To me a hybrid car is the obvious answer
Hybrids are far less talked about, but they're definitely still more prevalent than fully electric cars in Belgium. Of course I can't talk about other countries.
Flex engines are more practical solution than hybrid, until future technologies matures.
India is betting big on green hydrogen. More technologies like flex engines, sodium batteries, aluminium ion batteries, bio-ethanol from crop residue and similar such technologies are also being worked upon. If India succeeds in its green hydrogen mission, it will be the world's largest producer of Green fuel by 2027-28.

Great reporting by Gravitas on this issue - Climate Change.
what's worse is that if they had invested more in nuclear, they would be so much less reliant on coal.
Hypocrisy should be a crime. So much for fighting against global warming 🔥
Being an idiot also should be a crime, dont you think?
Namibia does not mine coal. Please check your facts

Everyone is still fighting... it is a seasonal solution, whilst rationing much better is possible, but just as India has to set their people first by buying Russian fossil fuels therefore helping it to prolong the war in Ukraine, which was an illegal invasion based on bullcrap and historical claims, so does Europe so that people will not start dying in -20 C during the winter.... Yes increasing the coal consumption because some idiot in Russia decided to start another war...... The climate goals did not go out of the window just because there is an increase in coal consumption whilst we recover from standing with ukraine and trying to phase out of Russian energy, while India is trying to undo that, unable to vote like a democracy should in UN, aligning itself with just themselves and the likes of China..... Western Hypocrisy, as if India has none of it's own

Hi Palki. As usual top notch reporting!!!!! I would suggest that an coal based system must immediately add efficient scrubbers to the system. Every country using coal must stop using until there is a scrubbing system in place.
So are we supposed to go out of energy?

@@ricardomadleno564 Hi Ricardo, I think the problem is that green energy cannot provide enough energy as the coal. Green energy can only supplement a small amount. I do look forward to the day green energy can provide 100% of our energy. Maybe this will be the impetus to do so. Best regards!!!
We can thank the Russians for exposing something we already knew

Wish our media told things like this .
Airconditioning in the West cannot be turned off 😁😁😁 We love Palki!
I think you also would love RT, BREITBART and FOX NEWS.... there are also a channel in North-Korea, and Iran has it´s news channel.
@@PjotrII you forgot about Sudan News Network and Taliban News
@@RiaanPretorius Yeah, did Palki tell how airconditioning is used in my European country??? I didn't watch the whole video, but I guess not, as I've seen her claims before. The temperature today is 8 degrees C here, and my airconditioning is on, taking "heat" from outside and pumping it in to my house. This can reduce electricity spent on heating by 30-50%. So the airconditioning is a green step, towards a less energy consuming society (most likely not mentioned by Palki).
So yes, we can turn off airconditioning but then Palki will make a new video pointing out how the west has increased energy on heating!
@@PjotrII yes, she sent me an email regarding the same
@@RiaanPretorius Good that you and Palki have it going, so to say, then she can inform you of all the details she left, and things she twisted to other viewers. I rather go with what is the truth, than to a stretch of it!

By showing her racism. Yep.
Obviously she has never experienced a Northern winter.
She states this is due to the Ukraine mess yes.

@@CT-uv8os Well brother let's not talk about racism. Europeans have damaged US and Australia already by settling there and doing racism to their native population. Europe is sitting on piles of money looted/stolen from Africa and SE Asia and they used to treat the local population as dogs while they were extracting the wealth out of colonised countries. Doing Racist discrimination on basis of skin color is the birth right of europeans, look at Romani people, we do not want any credit in it.
Now coming to your victim card of letting European children freeze to death: The only problem world has with EU is that they overlook other's interest when it doesn't affect them and lecture others. As soon as something happens with them, they just don't care and all their morals and lectures doesn't apply to them. World has a problem with europe's lectures, you throw your children in coal or sleep in a house full of coal, no one cares! Because the world is busy in re-building itself unlike europe which is enjoying the looted wealth of others.
