#EU2030

"Selbst wenn wir unsere Emissionen nun auf null Prozent senken würden, würde dies das globale Problem ja nicht lösen."
José Manuel Durão Barroso, 22.01.2014 Brüssel

:facepalm #fail :headbang


This quote is from a german Spiegel Online article. I have tried hard to find any other reference to this statement, but could not find anything. :-( Is there no video recording of this press conference?

How did you find this?


They used to be clients (translation, not navigation, you can't blame me).  You kinda learn where everything is even when it doesn't make sense.

Around 15:00min he really said this: http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/video/player.cfm?ref=I085774

"Let me make a small provocation: If now the European Union was adopting zero, zero emissions for 2030, unfortunately that will not solve the problem. So even if you ever [??? no idea what he is saying here] 100% reduction that will not solve the problem."
José Manuel Durão Barroso, 22.01.2014 Brüssel, EC press conference 'The Commission presents the 2030 framework for climate and energy'
Interesting how such a quote change if you know the context around it. :-/
