Right-wing heads explode as new President of Argentina Javier Milei backflips on pledge to withdraw from Paris Climate Agreement. ClimateChange
LOL.
I can't tell if this is real or parody.
Hilarious if he turns out to be in league with the (another Argentinian) Pope and takes a Jesus / social-justice path.
He's not your standard mode right winger, that's not a commendation by any stretch, but I don't think he'll be another Trump, Orban or Bolsonaro.
Yes, he has called climate change a hoax, but it seems, he also sees an opportunity there.
Argentina is a vast country with very few people. Excellent place for getting into the global carbon credit business.
On the other hand: Maybe he has been schooled on the subject and knows that his country, with its heavy economic dependency on agriculture, is especially vulnerable to the effects of the coming climate catastrophe.
There's never hope for Argentina.
Maybe, just maybe, it doesn't go as bad as one might fear.
@HistoPol @mina @mark_melbin "Como me dijieron: Argentina tiene de todo, productos agriculturales, pasto, llanura, madera, Gas natural, petrolea, Lithio, Oro, diferentes zonas climaticas. El problema somos nosotros, lost Argentinos!" das haben sie mir auch diesmal gesagt. in 1902 war es das zweitreichste Land der Erde. Seit den 40ern wird es systematisch ausgeplünder,t mißbraucht und übervorteilt.
@HistoPol @mark_melbin @mina Wie ich Euch gesagt habe: Das ist kein "Rechter" oder Konservativer nach unseren gängigen Einstufungen. Er hat vom echten Liberalismus einiges. Und das ist weder rechts noch links, weder egalitär noch elitär. Ich wünsche ihm Glück und eine gute Hand,
