When EU lawmakers voted to ban the sale of new combustion engine cars in the bloc by 2035, it was a landmark victory for climate. In February, the European Parliament approved the law. All that was needed was a rubber stamp from the bloc’s political leaders.

Then Germany changed its mind.

In a reversal that stunned many EU insiders, the German government decided to push for a loophole that would allow the sale of combustion engine cars beyond the 2035 deadline — as long as they run on synthetic fuels.

Resolves YES if in 2023, the EU enacts law to ban the sale of new combusion engine cars by 2035 with an exception for synthetic fuels. Resolves NO if they enact a law without an exception for synthetic fuels, or if no such law is enacted in 2023.
