    *Candidate climate chief, he isn’t elected yet. I’m really hoping Wopke doesn’t get the position, because his nomination is nothing else than a ploy to weaken climate ambitions in the EU

    Edit: Welp, he did it, he made it through the commision

      There’s still the European Parliament. But yeah I guess he gets the job…
