With the election of Donald Trump and the ongoing geopolitical conflicts, the climate issue has lost much relevance over the recent months. It’s exceedingly clear that people are much worried about other issues. Few people care about the climate issue.

From now on, I’ll be blogging less frequently as climate news play a lesser role in the current political discourse and public interest. Kenneth will likely continue with his excellent posts.

Climate change has rapidly become a fringe issue. Moreover, for the time being, there’s no charismatic figure out there standing ready to take over for the Democrats and the leftists in Europe and to bring the climate issue back to the forefront.

Another development: people have come to realize that climate policy only means more crazy rules, less choice, higher taxes and a loss of freedom.

As far as Europe is concerned, its leaders have (finally) realized that their situation is indeed extremely dire in terms of geopolitical relevance and that the USA is done babysitting and funding them. Their latest off-the-cuff scheme: they hope that printing trillions of euros will lead their sick old continent out of its deep crisis. But don’t expect that to be successful. A substantial portion of the planned trillions in new debt will be earmarked for the green new deal and other wasteful projects, which ultimately will make them even weaker than they currently are.

What’s lies beyond that point is open to speculation. One possible scenario is widespread discontent and resistance by citizens after things go from really bad to really much worse, which could lead the continent to enact dictatorial suppression measures against the people. Or a second scenario: a revolution that could put the establishment out of power and usher in a new era.

One thing is certain: we are living in a very transformative time. Stay calm, confident and resolute.
