These measures will destroy the economy of European nations if they actually implement them. So far on carbon dioxide they are all talk and no action. The great hope of the socialists is that they can get the green program implemented before temperature starts falling naturally. If they can do that then they can take credit for the natural temperature decline, and keep themselves in power forever. This is similar to the Kennedy plan hatched at the 1963 Democratic Party planning session to start the "great society" welfare programs that would keep them in power forever as all of the beficiaries of the program voted Democrat. The program was put into effect under LBJ, but didn't work out as planned.
