Europe Chastised Trump’s Climate Rollback. Now It’s Delaying Its Own Green Goals.
The European Union has proposed to relax its landmark carbon-pricing system, and allow automakers to sell gasoline-burning cars for longer. The U.K. appears poised to allow new oil production in the North Sea—after banning exploratory drilling last year—and is reviewing targets for sales of electric vehicles. Canada dismantled an unpopular carbon tax and is backing new oil-and-gas infrastructure.

Yes, the Wall Street Journal editorial page, absolutely interested in the best interests of Planet Earth.
Another piece of disinformation and half-truth from OP from a questionable source.
Canada suspended the consumer carbon tax, but it increases the Industrial Carbon Tax to $170 per tonne by 2030.
The EU has done a lot of things, one is the bloc's goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 (for comparison: China has set this goal for 2060, don't know whether the U.S. has any such goal at the moment). Another point is the EU's carbon border adjustment mechanisms (CBAM) which essentially makes companies pay if they produce in countries with lower environmental standards (China, Russia, and India have criticized the law an 'discriminatory).
Regarding climate action, you may see how Europe, Canada, and others compare to the U.S. and China, the two largest economies, in the Climate Action Tracker.

How can you say that with a straight face with the sources you use?
I provided several examples why @[email protected]'s post is disinformation. Feel free to do the same in my posts if you think the information is wrong or misleading.
You did not just called it half truths and disinformation then brought to something unrelated.
But again the point was your sources
