The EU is capable of resisting Trump pretty well. However many countries are not. That is honesty the real problem here.

EU coal consumption is currently on its lowest level and falling. For a bit coal power plants were used to replace gas power plants, but that has mostly ended as gas has fallen in price and renewable built out has accelerated. Today the EU is at 3% of global coal consumption. It is not the main reason for coal not going down at all.
He already is doing shit for years. Proping up Nazis all over the place in Europe.
It is a great technology for heating though.
Most Western countries have falling emissions and have at least at times grown their GDP.
What? Most Western countries had emissions and GDP decoupling years ago. So that part is clearly not. China has grown for decades and having an economic crisis is if anything expected. You get bubbles and those pop, like the housing bubble in China right now.
The truth is both is happening.
The US is home to most of the largest oil and gas companies. If the US does not sit on the table at COPs, they loose that very powerful voice. Obviously it would be better, if the US would use its power for good, but with Trump that is not going to happen.
Great news. US and EU oil demand is already falling. Combined with China that is half the current global oil consumption.
The problem is that there are a lot of fossil fuel subsidies as well. It would be better to cut those, but try to lobby for that.
She has done something for the climate in the past and unlike Trump actually understands that climate change is real.
How the hell can the presidential candidate of the Green Party own a MILLION DOLLARS OF OIL AND GAS SHARES? How can you complain about Israel murdering children in Gaza, when you own shares in Raytheon, which sells and produces weapons for and in Israel?
and long term the higher oil and gas consumption is going to damage the climate even worse…
