    The US Consumer News and Business Channel reported earlier this month that there is a severe shortage of natural gas in Europe, and its natural gas supply is at the lowest level in the same period in previous years

    British Minister of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs George Eustis told Sky News reporter: "We need market regulation


    Eustis said that the price of carbon dioxide may rise from 200 pounds per ton (about 1,763 yuan) to about 1,000 pounds (8817 yuan) per ton
