Thunberg added that “no matter” which one of them wins, America “will still be an imperialist, hyper-capitalist world power that will ultimately continue to lead the world further into a racist, unequal world with an ever increasingly escalating climate and environmental emergency”.

Greta is on the right side of of Israel, but she is victim of EU colonial disinformation propaganda favouring war on Ukraine, which is pure US imperialism. There is zero possibility of a sustainable climate if oil interest tell you that war is more important. Prioritizing a need to control renewable energy (tariffs) is also incompatible with climate sustainability, and is done to further protect oil use/profits far more than helping local boutique renewable producers.

So Biden/Harris have done far more to destroy the climate than to save it. CO2 atmospheric concentrations have gone up record amounts even as energy progress has been made. Some of it is feedback effects of more forest fires, but 3% of global diesel being used in Ukraine, and increased military production, in a war the hegemony needs to last 10+ years to keep oil profits high is climate destroying.

It is China that is transforming energy. The US is an obstacle to the transition.
