Time to follow China’s climate leadership
We must avoid being tied to the millstone of US energy policy – a death sentence paid for by big oil – and embrace co-operation with the world’s green leader for a renewable, sustainable future.
The road to hell is paved with bad intentions – US ruling class promotes the insane dystopia of a “3C World”

With the US walking away from the Paris Agreement, emerging economies advance in global green transition
Trump, upon taking office, signed an executive order declaring that the US, the world’s largest historical largest emitter of greenhouse gases, will withdraw from the Paris Agreement.

Tipping points in the struggle to save humanity from climate breakdown
The transition to sustainable energy is not fast enough to avert a catastrophic increase of almost 3C in average temperatures by the end of the century on current policies. Policies, overwhelmingly those in the Global North, need to change.
