"[C]limate change is just a very, very expensive form of tax."

"I believe in climate change caused by human beings. What I'm skeptical about is the glib notion that it means the end of the world as we know it."

"The clock is no longer just ticking, it is banging."

"There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change."

"The time for seeking global solutions [to climate change] is running out."

"The climate crisis is the existential threat. That's not hyperbole; it's a fact."

"[W]e are killing our planet."

Climate change is "above all, an existential crisis."

"Climate change is one of the greatest challenges mankind faces."

"If we don't take action, the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon."

"Humanity is on thin ice — and that ice is melting fast."

"We haven't yet exceeded the bounds of viable human civilisation, but we're getting close."

"Trump 2.0 will probably do so again [pull out of the Paris agreement], perhaps on Trump’s first day in power."

"Based on his first term, we can expect him to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement."

"The first expectation after Trump's inauguration on January 20 is a U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on climate."

"Trump will no doubt pull out [of the Paris climate agreement] again."

"I'm immediately withdrawing from the unfair, one-sided Paris climate accord rip-off."

Will the US Exit the Paris Climate Agreement Again in Trump's Second Term?

This watered-down proposal betrays scientific advice and European citizens who demand stronger climate action. The carbon credit loophole allows wealthy EU nations to shirk responsibility by outsourcing emissions cuts instead of making necessary domestic investments.
