As expected, day two of the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland witnessed strong responses to U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, with European leaders stating in no uncertain terms that they will hold fort and remain a part of the global climate pact.
European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday: “Europe will stay the course, and keep working with all nations that want to protect nature and stop global warming.” She insisted that the 27-nation bloc will stick to the landmark Paris climate accord. “The Paris Agreement continues to be the best hope for all humanity,” she said.
The Paris accord is aimed at limiting long-term global warming to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5 degrees Celsius) or, failing that, keeping temperatures at least well below 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) above pre-industrial levels.
Without China the whole thing is pointless. Economic suicide while global pollution continues to rise. 27 non-productive countries can’t “limit global warming”
Even without all the “save the climate” talk – it’s absolutely dumb to fuck up your own green tech industry.
China is literally leapfrogging into self-sustainability while cornering the EV, battery and renewable market while Trump gets bribed to brabble about “Drill Baby Drill” (which won’t even happen because the US gas and oil output already runs at full capacity).
Even the EU, despite all it’s flaws in the tech sector, is ahead of the US in this regard.
Trump is right with one thing. Agreeing to something without consequences when you fail is useless. Not a single important country is make actions to follow their agreement
Good let’s kill our economy even further, that’ll stop the fascists from taking over
The EU, UK and US are all putting [CBAM](https://taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/carbon-border-adjustment-mechanism_en) tariffs in place to penalise carbon content in all manufactured goods.
Any industry which doesn’t concentrate on having a carbon-minimal supply chain is going to get fucked.
So any industry in the US which decides to ignore all this pesky carbon nonsense is setting itself up for destruction.
Yeah, who is he to ask us this ?
Don’t forget about carbon sinks. Countries who agreed on Paris Climate agreement may (and probably will) impose carbon tariffs or other trade restrictions on goods from US, as it’s not actively participating in global climate efforts (Paris Climate agreement is one of them). This will negatively impact US businesses. So… people.
Adults are still in the room…the generations to come will appreciate this!
Europe is on track to decarbonize the entire economy in the coming decades. The Chinese are copying and doing the exact same thing. Wind energy is by far the cheapest source of power. We have to do it to avoid a climatic catastrophe. If Trump wants to lead the US into backwards destructive policies the EU have to stand up to him.
If even the Chinese are copying you, you know you are on the right track.
aren’t like only 3 countries that produce more than 90% of global pollution? china, bangladesh, india / pakistan…. but we, as a whole continent, we have to beat our backs and limit our industry in disgust because how evil we are and we have to do better? xd
we are joke, we are about to collapse as a community in between BRICS and the new lunatic states of america.
I think the climate agreement should be scrapped and EU should pivot to oil & gas. We have plenty of oil off the coast of Norway and in the North Sea and plentiful gas reserves i.e. the well-known Groningen gas field in the Netherlands and further gas deposits in Hungary, Poland, Italy, Romania and Spain.
Dear Europe, as a Canadian it’s time we talked seriously on drastically expanding our partnership really really fast.
Trump exists solely to TANK America
Everything he will do will be to the advantage of Russia and China
So here in America, those of us with the options and abilities can just stop supporting companies with money or screen time that fail to provide greener tech or follow the ideals of the Paris accord. President is supposed to be one man, civil servant job serving the people. The people have the numbers to do more for the country.
bold move coming from someone living in hurricane land, maybe there are other better initiatives regarding weather control and this was redundant.
Is it just me, or does it seem like there’s a glitch in the Matrix?
We should compensate for the US. There is only one planet so our sacrifice will not be in vain.
It’s 2 degrees here. Could sure use some of that “global warming” right now. Weird how the warming only happens in the Summer. 🤔. Hmm. I guess the alleged “scientists” haven’t figured out that one yet
