Too bad they didn’t tell the EU bigwigs to stop using fossil fuels themselves if they really Believe. To not take long, fossil fueled flights to COP30 in Brazil
Trump lieutenants tell Europe to stop worrying about climate change
Quit stressing about climate change — it’ll all be fine.
That was the message from two of U.S. President Donald Trump’s top government appointees during a trip to Brussels last week.
Trump’s Energy Secretary Chris Wright and finance cop Paul Atkins each dismissed the EU’s comparatively stringent approach to climate regulation during their visits, with the former saying the danger posed by global warming was “overhyped.”
It comes as the EU faces increasing pressure to wind back its climate ambitions to compete with countries with looser standards, such as the U.S. and China.
Atkins, whom Trump appointed to head U.S. finance watchdog the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this year, said global warming posed no serious threat to financial stability, and insisted it was not the place of financial regulators to police the climate-related policies of businesses.
“We’re not here to be environmental police or social police or whatever. That’s not our job,” he told POLITICO. That position contradicts the European Central Bank’s stance that climate change poses real risks to the financial system.
Yeah, well, the big wigs across the pond have gone full bore for the climate cult, and mesh it with everything. Few actually practice what they preach, though. That’s for the peasants, who have the cult forced on them.
