What a world to live. There has never been a danger of climate change before before, and the answer is so cavalier. If you doubt it, think about events last week.
As Trump’s administration was freezing Financing of electric cars charging programs, swallowing A USAID agency that helps countries to carry with time extremes and scrubs Mention of climate change with government websites, scientists have discovered some frightening data.
It turned out that last month was the hottest January on recordDespite the arrival of the cooling conditions of the Ocean La Niña, which was expected to lower the average global temperature.
Yes, only a month and, yes, February could be cooler. But it is also possible that people’s glass gases constantly pour into the atmosphere, let the planet’s ability to cool naturally, as well as some scientists fear. Unusually intense fires in Los Angeles and Bible floods in Valencia three months earlier could be signs of a shift in a climate system that we do not yet understand.
Either way, the gap between climate risk and response has become alarmingly wide, not only because of what Donald Trump does in the world’s largest economy.
In the largest European economy, the extreme right alternative to Germany (AFD) Party in second place, second, at the end of the election of this month, vowing to surpass Trump demolition Wind farms and their “windmill shame”. (Trump just tries Stop new Windy parks that are being built – for now.)
The turbines are probably safe: the other German parties excluded work with AFD in the coalition. But in the neighborhood in Austria, the far right party has become a higher partner in the coalition government after winning the highest seats in the September election after the campaign reverse Climate measures. It belongs to the patriots for Europe, the third largest group in the European Parliament, whose ultimate right leaders climbed on the “Green Deal Ideology” Rally In Madrid on weekends.
Their message that green policies are expensive with ordinary workers resonate in more and more countries.
The Canadian Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre, has done a similar case against the carbon Justin TRUDEAUA in front of Canada the upcoming election. Mark Carney, a climate champion who ran to replace Trudeauu as a liberal party leader, said that would it be extinguished Parts of taxes and replace it with less “divided” green policies.
Meanwhile, in the business world, a list of companies that increase their green efforts is growing. Even Norwegian cart Energy Group, which changed its name by Statoil seven years ago as it pushed into green energy, now plans to increase the production of fossil fuels and halve renewable sources.
Such is the background for the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement from Paris in 2015, a global pact that should accelerate the moves to slow down global warming.
Until now, no country followed Trump and decided to leave the agreement, although Argentina weighing Departure and Indonesia are ask Why this should be followed by an agreement that will soon neglect.
Why is all this happening now? What has changed since 2020, when companies and countries clashed equally to support net zero policies? There is no answer, but it is no coincidence that the green feedback reaction appeared while the countries stop only by setting a net zero goals and start launching policies to fulfill them. This will always be full, especially during the cost of living crossing. Support for Germany AFD increased in 2023 after taking advantage of the disputed government’s efforts to decarbonize the heating in the home.
The imagined leaders acknowledge the need to rethink. “The air movement has to think about young Germans who transferred their voices from Green to AFD last summer because they thought Green was elite,” said the Rachel Kyte climate, in British climate, in a memorial lecture for a late climate diplomat, Peta Pete Betts. “We have a lot to regain the narrative.”
The Government of the UK is followed by an ambitious climate program that includes a clean electricity system by 2030. This allocates him from the US, bent about the extension of the fossil fuel era, even as his Oders’ rivals are closer to China with the world’s first green engine, the first in the world in the world in the world of electrostate.
The direction of travel is in favor of China. The transition of energy began. But it’s hard to see how fast enough happens to contain all the unpredictable and disturbing climate.
