The ClimateActionTracker website itself actually has a lot more details on individual countries, their targets and the policies they implemented. You can see by how much they miss their targrets as well. For example the US is pretty close to the 3C line.
Degrowth argues that due to resource constraints, we need to cut some production as to stay within the resource constraints of the planet, while using the resources we have to provide a good quality of life for everybody. So post-scarcity economics is seen as impossible. However cutting production does mean less work time and systemsclike UBI are seen as key to make sure cutting production does not cause unnecessary harm.
Ritchie wants to solve the global Souths problems, by growing the global economy using green technology with resource constraints not being a problem due to technology. So keeping steady to move to a post scarcity world. She does this, by looking at very real trends and believes they moszly just continue
China has been waiving no intrest loans, which can not be repaid. Debt restructuring inckuding forgiving loans is part of a debt trap too.
Beijing, which has come under criticism for its lending practices to poorer nations, accounts for almost 40% of the bilateral and private-creditor debt that the world’s poorest countries need to service this year, according to the World Bank. It has helped forge recent debt-relief agreements, participating in the Group of 20 suspension of repayments during the pandemic.
(From the Bloomberg article) The amount is certainly right and already working with the Western lenders as well.
The AlJazeera opinion piece you linked shows pretty well, what it means. After all the IMF adjustment programs were how the West was able to exploit the South. China is starting to take part in that exact process.
Obviously those are just loans. Do you seriously believe they sign documents named "debt traps"?
The EU emission targets would require about 37% of cars sold to be EVs starting next year. That is nearly double the current level in a few months. Combined with low car sales mainly due to work from home being more populare since the pandemic and car makers have a decent challenge to solve. Also they can not just buy Chinese due to tarrifs.
Also the German government has already declined to work towards lowering those targets. It is the German car industry calling for it.
Partly, but also genetic diversity due to geography(islands and moutain ranges for example) and the tropics just being more diverse. Just compare the Taiga with the Amazon rainforest.
So if you want the Republicans to be anticapitalist, you only need to make renewables cheaper then fossil fuels?
For example, but that took me a minute to find. Just asking for proof does not work, when the other site is unable to argue its case beyond "I looked into it". Not even an unsourced explanation of how Cowbee came to the cconclusion. Only that it is supposed to be "obvious".
I doubt I get a reply from Cowbee due to that.
So you consider North Korea or Eritrea to be better then the US? Seriously?
Can you proof China is not debt traping poor countries?
It is very easy to call the US the worst country, when you ignore the bad other countries commit.
KA-52 cost 20million, but offers fairly little which could not be had for less using drones or artillery and fighter planes are not much more expensive, but are more capable.
Only? The Saudis own Manchester City, Qatar owns PSG. The Saudis paid Ronaldo half a billion to play in the Saudi league and he is not the only one with an insane contract. Never mind Qatar building a bunch of stadia just to host the world cup and the Saudis paying FIFA to make them host in 2034 by making Spain, Portugal, Morroco, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay hosts of the 2030 world cup.
China is currently debt trapping most of Africa. They pretty much appointed the current dictator of Zimbawe for example.
The way I look at good and bad is on a scale. Whenever a country makes the life for the average human better in terms of material well being, but also political freedom, that is a good thing. Whenever they make those things worse then it is bad.
A huge reason the US is the country doing so many bad things, is that nearly nobody else can. Any large scale war between two countries in recent times had the US being the agressor or the US intervening massivly. Iraq was done after invading Kuwait and Russia despute having nukes and a resilient economy is not liking it either.
So we have to look at what countries choose to do with the power they have and the US is not the worst in that metric.
A lot of US oil wells are using fracking. Fracking produces oil and gas very quickly, but the well also declines quickly. First year decline for tight oil is 50% and second year another 30%. For shale oil itvis 34% in the first year.
Those two make up over half of the US oil and gas production. So no permits would mean US oil production falls by a third within 2 years or so.
