Europe to call for phasing out fossil fuels, despite 'greenlash'

Despite growing backlash against climate regulations, the European Union is set to call Tuesday for a 90 percent emissions cut by 2040 - a target that can only be met with a near-total reduction in fossil fuels, as well as an overhaul of how people move around and get their food.
Farmers, facing tightened environmental rules and other challenges, have held recent protests in at least a half-dozen EU countries. Right-leaning parties skeptical of some climate regulations are poised for a major win in European parliamentary elections later this year. The 'greenlash' is building, from France to Ireland.
