Starting in 2027, citizens and small and medium-sized businesses in the EU will have to pay for emission certificates for their energy and fuel consumption. What previously applied to industry will now be extended to the everyday lives of every person \u2013 from heating and refuelling to electricity consumption. The price: a radical increase in the cost of living.<\/p>\n<p>Critics like former MEP <a href=\"https:\/\/deanderekrant.nl\/eu-klimaatbelasting-gaat-leven-fors-duurder-maken-en-keuzevrijheid-beperken\/\">Rob Roos are sounding the alarm<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>This tax hits the wrong people \u2013 and in the process destroys freedom of choice, prosperity, and social stability<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Social reform \u2013 on the backs of the citizens<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The energy crises and price explosions throughout Europe are particularly affecting small and medium-sized businesses. While large corporations were cushioned by subsidies, small businesses, commuters, and families were left empty-handed \u2013 or slipped directly into insolvency.<\/p>\n<p>Now comes ETS-2 \u2013 the \u201csecond stage\u201d of the EU emissions trading system \u2013 and will once again make life significantly more expensive for millions of Europeans.<\/p>\n<p>Under the pretext of climate protection, a system is being installed that effectively amounts to a climate penalty tax for ordinary consumers. Payments are made to anonymous funds and green project partners, benefiting corporations, consultants, lobbyists, and political networks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Neither chosen nor wanted \u2013 but implemented without alternative<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Particularly controversial: No EU citizen voted on ETS-2. The new tax was introduced without public debate \u2013 embedded in the \u201c<em>Fit for 55<\/em>\u201d package and the \u201c<em>Green Deal<\/em>.\u201d The justification: compliance with international climate targets. The reality: social explosiveness and a further decoupling of politics from the people.<\/p>\n<p>The CO\u2082 tax affects everyone, but especially:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Households with oil heating or gas connection<\/li>\n<li>Commuters in rural areas<\/li>\n<li>Small businesses, agriculture, crafts<\/li>\n<li>Low-income families<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those who don&#8217;t immediately switch to heat pumps, electric cars, and smart meters will be left behind. Those who can&#8217;t afford it will be penalized.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A system that thrives on disease \u2013 now on climate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What began with covid and health control is now continuing with economic system control. The new CO\u2082 tax is more than an environmental instrument \u2013 it is a tool for controlling behaviour, redistributing wealth, and increasing citizens&#8217; dependence on the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>You can&#8217;t build a CO\u2082 industry on the backs of free, energy-independent citizens<\/em>,\u201d critics say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>But societies can be re-educated with coercion, debt, and taxes<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion: Climate protection as a lever for power and redistribution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The EU climate tax is not only expensive \u2013 it is undemocratic, antisocial, and ideologically charged.<\/p>\n<p>Following energy price explosions, and supply chain crises, ETS-2 is the next major blow to Europe&#8217;s citizens.<\/p>\n<p>And as always: those who cannot defend themselves have to pay.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>yogaesoteric<br \/>\nMay 26, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EU is pushing ahead with its climate agenda \u2013 and citizens have to pay.
