Countries staying committed to climate plans after U.S. Paris pact exit, UN climate chief says

If European regimes inflict any more damage on their economies and citizens, they will be out and Trumpesque replacements will copy the US (and the Third Reich).

As the Democrats discovered the hard way, politics requires popularity, and you cannot go faster than your citizens will allow you, on any policies that have widespread impact. Trump's return was a brutal reminder to a party that had existed inside a cosy bubble, listened only to itself and forgotten the basics of Politics 101. Quite a lot of Europe is flying too close to the same flame.

Forget fixed reductions and aspire to move as fast as is viable. And be ready to subsidise the transition - without cuts elsewhere - or it will not happen. It is an eyewateringly expensive policy and most people either cannot or will not pay for it. The state will have to cough up the cash, and do so without raising taxes or cutting services.

Useless bunch of paper shovelers and heave expense accounts, Cozy positions with no result whatsoever.

Hopefully so.

and Trumpesque replacements will copy the US (and the Third Reich).

World upside down again. It is the leftist elitist regimes that want to control speech, outlaw opposition, and use violence against dissidents. The Trump movement and its European counterparts like the AfD, Reform UK, Sweden Democrats, Le Penn etc are populist, basically wanting a return to sanity. The name-calling is getting old.... remember Godwins Law.
