Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Trade dispute
holds up EU-China climate statement
In the late last
century, “It’s the economy s-----!” phrase worked the most in elections.
It was so
close to reach a historical joint commitment to combat global warming between
these two parties, the EU and China. This unlikely alliance could have been
formed should they had managed to compromise the disagreements in trade and
steel production issues. Since China has been the largest emitter of greenhouse
gasses ever since it surpassed the US in 2007, their commitment to the Paris
climate agreement is essential for the global environment, especially when the
US president announced to withdraw from the accord.
It seems that
while the US has lost the leadership role in global environmental initiatives, China
has missed a chance to take the position.
Enjoy reading
and thinking when the world hears “It’s the environment s-----!” phrase during
elections.
