4% of global warming to date. Flying will still be possible (and not uncommon) in a net zero world. Maybe americans will have to take the train to see their relatives, but they could just DACCS if they love TSA controls so much.

I think this makes sense from the commission’s point of view. If the EU fines google and washington hears of it, that could be the start another trade war with the US. People will really care about that and blame the commission even if they acted reasonably. If they block the fine normies will not care and they can go on with their jobs as usual. I think its wrong to assume google will not go crying to trump if they get fined and beg him to impose more tarriffs (which we all know trump hates doing /s), so if you are in favor of the very much deserved fine you have to accept the risk of a trade war too. Politics sucks man.
