For me the target is not a big deal, we emit such a tiny amount of co2 and even without a target it's clear our co2 emissions are on the downtrend and I applaud any countries or european unions where co2 emissions are going down

Our coal power plants are on their way out, by 2035 I'll be surprised if we have more than 10 left

It's quite clear we're going to be slashing our emissions quite heavily as the coal power plants slowly drop off one by one
