NY Times Is Very Disappointed That You Americans Elected Trump, Who’s Bad For ‘Climate Change’

We’ve sent an alarming message to people who do not actually live in the U.S.

U.S. Election Sends Alarming Message for Global Climate Efforts

For the second time in less than a decade, the United States is expected to retreat from one of the world’s most consequential challenges: limiting the deadly and costly wreckage of climate change.

The election of Donald Trump is not only a setback to the world’s ability to rein in dangerous levels of warming. It also signals to other nations that the new leadership of the richest country in the world, which is also history’s largest emitter of planet-warming greenhouse gases, is dismissive of the economic opportunities of transitioning to cleaner technologies. In addition it’s unlikely to be persuaded to change even as people worldwide are battered by extreme heat, fire and floods.

Last time I checked, Trump wasn’t president since January 2021, yet, according to Warmists, the output of “carbon pollution” continued to rise despite all the restrictive governmental policies and taxes. And almost no Warmists have given up their own use of fossil fuels.

Mr. Trump, who has called global warming a hoax, is all but certain to pull out of the Paris accord, the global agreement among nations to confront global warming, as he did during his first term as president. He is also likely to reverse a raft of regulations to clean up climate pollution.

In addition to largely isolating the United States on the global climate-diplomacy stage, actions like these would also hand a geopolitical win to the country’s main rival, China, which has spent a decade building up a powerful clean-energy industry and is now increasingly exporting it worldwide.

Wait, are they actually saying that China is Doing Something about global boiling? With all the coal power plants they are building in China and in African nations? Really?

The Trump victory is likely to embolden right-wing lawmakers in Europe to slow down European Union-wide climate targets, and some European lawmakers were quick to make the economic case for pivoting to clean energy. “The transition to climate neutrality is a cornerstone of our future competitiveness,” said Jennifer Morgan, the German climate envoy, speaking of the European Union as well as Germany.

Yeah, well, lots of citizens in the EU are done with all the taxes, fees, and government dictates

The Trump win raises a fundamental question for every other country: How important is the United States in preventing climate catastrophe?

“The rest of the world will continue working,” said Tasneem Essop, a South African and the head of Climate Action Network, an activist group.

Well, y’all have fun with that. Despite not really doing anything.
