As the U.S. abandons international climate agreements, the EU is hesitating to lead. A once-admired Nordic nation’s backtracking on its climate goals offers clues as to why.
Our commitments were made when we DIDN’T have a government coalition of dumbass rightwingers, neoliberals, evangelicals, and neonazis in poor disguise.
Now we do have that coalition, and they’re pretending climate change isn’t real.
In the name of saving costs, they’re killing programs which have been massive cost savers with huge ROI, and thus creating costs. Undoing wildlife management which increase costs and reduce revenue for farmers, undoing climate goals which even the car industry wants in place, removing regulations which made the industry better, etc.
