Greener in Europe? Four reasons the EU can’t be trusted on the environment

The author counters those environmentalists who argue that the United Kingdom should remain in the European Union by saying: 'I’m not here to argue for Brexit.

And a major new EU-US trade agreement just around the corner could threaten much of what has been achieved'.
