Green Deal

What will be written in the history books about Mr Putin and Mr Trump in the future?

I would wager the following: ‘In the first half of the 21th century, these two elderly individuals were responsible for the catastrophic failure of the world’s leaders to focus on imminent climate change. Their backward-looking and self-serving policies were the cause of terrible damage to the biosphere.

Countless ecosystems have been irreversibly destroyed and many millions of people have died as a result.’ Today, it is completely open what will be written about Europe in this context. Either nothing at all, or: ‘Due to considerable pressure, the European states finally decided to go further.

With the realisation of the Green Deal, the United States of Europe became a shining example of responsible policy for a liveable future on this planet.’
