Holy shit, will an angry vendetta of child abuser Trump actually bring around a faster transition to green energy in the rest of the world??

The group of 60 states that discuss the fossil fuel phase out as described in the linked article formed during the latest COP last year in Brazil as the majority of governments refused to commit to an end of fossil fuels. China and the US, both among the world's largest polluters in total as well as per capita, are among these countries. They have no interest in a fossil fuel phase out.

Surprised to see Nigeria on that list. Are they going to produce it, but not consume it?

Germany? Good luck. 😒

China doesn't care because they will manufacture rooftop windmills if that's a catchy thing. They properly follow the money.

This should have been happening 40 years ago, but now is better than never

It's funny. I'm watching big tech companies that pushed for AI currently clambering to catch up to open source improvements to that tech. Why would you go with them when there's free, open, better options? They seem to have shit their beds and it keeps getting worse and worse.

And I can't help but watch Trump's obsession with oil rapidly accelerate USA's slow impending doom of keeping all the eggs in their fossil fuel industry and dependency.

A coalition of the willing. Maybe it will have a more positive effect than the hijacked COP.

Trump is indirectly solving climate change

The title is a bit misleading as there are only around 60 democratic states that meet to discuss fossil fuel exit. The majority of governments, including the the world's biggest polluters, are missing, particularly China and the US.

The US have accelerated the rise of China, all to make Israel happy

You could not make this shit up

It's bittersweet because it just reinforces that our economy holds greater value than our survival.

Though, to be fair, we do seem to be a species that only takes reactive action. So climate change would never get resolved until it's full-swing fucking most of us over, at which point it'll be too late for most of us since it's basically there already.

Most of the Asian countries and others are racing towards the use of renewables, faster than most western nations. The Iran war has at least sped up our planets pace of change. No doubt the big oil companies will fund whatever they need to get the best returns

Don't worry big oil. The US won't be participating.
