"No more climate change worship", Hegseth tells US military leaders 🙄.
They know better.
I know that, having been invited to speak at a NATO workshop on Climate Change Security.
Climate science is not woke or religion or whatever, it’s physics.
It got two physics Nobel prizes.

BREAKING: The earth has reached its first catastrophic tipping point linked to greenhouse gas emissions, with warm water coral reefs now facing a long-term decline and risking the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people, according to a new report.

The report from scientists and conservationists warns the world is also “on the brink” of reaching other tipping points, including the dieback of the Amazon, the collapse of major ocean currents and the loss of ice sheets.

12/ Conclusion:
Trump and his team used a full arsenal of gaslighting, victim-blaming, forced gratitude, manipulation, and coercion.

This was not a negotiation. It was an attempt to pressure Zelensky into accepting conditions deadly for Ukraine.

Today we see Trump 🇺🇸 disrupting the global order of the West by stopping military aid to 🇺🇦 - thus greatly boosting 🇷🇺 aggression - and initiating a major trade war with close neighbors 🇨🇦 🇲🇽. It could hardly be worse. https://t.co/UA5eKayRM0

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

President Trump 🇺🇸 has a seriously distorted view of history. Now he claims 🇪🇺 was set up ”to screw the United States”. It was actually set up to prevent war on the European continent.

USAs «New friends»

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Look at our new "friends" -- some of the countries that voted against the UN resolution condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine: U.S., Russia, Hungary, Belarus, North Korea, Syria, Nicaragua.

So shameful.

Today, President Trump will issue a series of Executive Orders that deny the climate emergency facing our country in favor of a phony “energy emergency”. These performative acts show the pervasive influence that the fossil fuel industry will have in the United States over the next four years. But make no mistake, the global Sustainability Revolution is unstoppable.

As was the case in 2017, withdrawing the US from the Paris Agreement is a shortsighted abdication of leadership that will only serve to put our nation at a disadvantage. Clinging to the industries of the past instead of embracing the industries of the future may boost the short-term profits of fossil fuel companies, but it will come at the expense of the broader American economy - including American workers who risk being left behind.

This is the first of what will be many attempts to ignore reality and try to stall the world’s unstoppable and irreversible move to a clean energy economy. But these proclamations are not reflective of our political and economic reality. These efforts to roll back progress – particularly the hugely popular clean energy investments in the Inflation Reduction Act – will be met with opposition from both political parties.

That’s why, in the coming weeks, months, and years, climate leaders and activists must not be deterred or distracted. From extreme weather disasters like Hurricane Helene and the still burning Los Angeles wildfires, to the growing number of climate refugees, to competitiveness in the global economy, the climate crisis will have profound consequences for the United States over the next four years.

If the new Administration won’t lead on this issue, it is up to all of us. Now is the time for Governors, Mayors, business leaders, investors, and activists to put their heads down and do the work that will advance the climate solutions our nation and the world so urgently need. We were able to keep up the pace of climate action during the first Trump Administration, and it is urgent that we take up the mantle once again.
