Hell we have enough satellites to track whales. Especially since they have to surface to breath.

That photo shows two partly submerged Russian submarines in a port, so no waves. Those submarines are 73m long, so longer then a normal whale and the part above the water is also larger then your normal whale. In other words there is no way to spot a whale in the open ocean with satellites.

The solution for that problem are carbon tariffs. As in every product imported has to pay X money for every ton of carbon they emitted producing the product.

Also obviously China has to go to zero. Everybody has to and that is why pretty much everybody has signed the Paris Climate Agreement promising to go to zero.

Australia is building out renwables extremely quickly. Fast enough to have overtaken China in share of low carbon electricity in 2023. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-electricity-low-carbon?tab=chart&region=Europe&country=CHN%7EAUS

For example the new nuclear doctrine:

The doctrine now says an attack from a non-nuclear state, if backed by a nuclear power, will be treated as a joint assault on Russia.

and a Russian lawmaker, when the EU parliament voted to allow all kinds of weapons to be send to Ukraine:

What the European Parliament is calling for leads to a world war using nuclear weapons

It is also that Russia is threatening to nuke the EU and expand into EU territory namely the Baltics. You do not need the US to tell the EU, that that is a problem, especially when that country started a massive war. Obviously the UK prefers the EU over Russia for a lot of reasons.

Btw a similar thing is happening with the US right now. Trump trying to force Denmark to give him Greenland is seen in a very similar light to Russian actions in the Baltics and Ukraine.

Oh and small countries have agency as well. There is a reason Georgia has EU membership as a goal in its constitution due a invasions and those were not by the US. A lot of eastern European countries have similar feelings about Russia for good reasons. Those countries also lobby the UK.

In the olden days Hamburgs city planners really thought cyclists were awesome. Like awesome enough to jump over a fully grown tree on the cycling path. Also it is the largest city in the EU without a tram system.....

At leats for Hamburg the plan was to invest 3.2billion into transport infrastructure from 2023-2026 of which 126million€ goest into roads for cars. That is a bit more then half they put into pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and absolutly dwarved by the extension of metro, regional rail and other public transport costs.

That being said that is the city and the federal government is covering up a long stretch of highway in Hamburg, which is extremely expensive.

Oh I am not saying that Tesla is not making good cars, but that cars are inferior to trains. Those companies mostly had full self driving before Tesla was founded. They also all build high speed rail, which means they are faster then Tesla. Trains also use less energy then cars. The onboard entertainment mainly is bring your own device and use the WiFi, but options for restaurants are decently common.

Those are all train manufacturers.

The EU has so many much better EV makers it is crazy. Siemens, Altsom, CAF or Talgo are superior in every way.

 

The Druzhba pipeline transports oil via Belarus to the EU.
