Reply to comment by jaceapoc in Defying Expectations, EU Carbon Emissions Drop To 30-Year Lows by doyouhavetono

https://imgur.com/a/XLVsxnY I didn't downvote, but there is a large quantity of people that auto downvote when they see the word "lol" on reddit, which is a bit wild, I see no problem with what you said despite the fact that it doesn't resonate with me - I think it's more likely that whoever upvoted my comment is the one that downvoted yours, no need to get all defensive over it, chill the beans

Im sorry to hear that about your family, how far north are you living? I know there are certain spots that have had it a little more difficult, but I believe for the majority of the EU its been more or less business as usual! There are people complaining on the sub, yes, but (I feel bad saying this), I know that people tend to only speak of things like this when they're worse off. People complain more often than they do celebrate. There's a name for this phenomenon, I've forgotten what it is

I'm from Ireland, where theres been more or less no change! Definitely not the north, but not the south either!

Ok my bad, then.

But come on mate... Ireland has pretty much been not concerned by the energy crisis... What do you mean?? Russian gas dependencies in European countries. My country is top 3 of that list... My family lives in 5 different countries in Europe, mainly Northern Europe (Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and Finland), and one in Italy. My friends are mostly in France and Switzerland. It's crazy everywhere. I know what I'm talking about... It's not "back to business as usual", no, just no.....

It really sounds like you need more perspective

That's a crazy thing to say in times like these... I don't even know where to begin with that... Hopefully you're just young and don't know much about life in general to say stuff like you say, and hopefully you'll reflect on that some more cause that's just crazy
