The European Union has caved in to angry protests from farmers, cutting its target to scrap specific agricultural emissions which formed part of the bloc’s net zero drive.

Wait until the EU elections. If the far right sweep them, as many are predicting, we will probably see diesel subsidies funded by scrapping renewable energy and sustainable transport projects.
