I do my best to ignore what’s happening, but some stories get through and here’s an interesting case in point. The devil is in the details.
Trump FURIOUS As World Ignores His Threats Over UN Climate Move
Oct 16, 2025 Discussion - Mallen Baker
President Trump is used to getting his way - with just about anyone (except possibly Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping). In particular, he’s used to being able to threat tariffs or other measures and have most of the countries of the world falling in line, doing whatever he demands in order to avoid his wrath.
But this week, the world is about to agree a measure that introduces a global tax - and even worse than that, a global tax relating to climate action.
Trump’s America has bellowed ‘no’, and is threatening all sorts of reprisals if countries vote for this measure. And right now, it seems that mostly they are ignoring him and intending to go ahead anyway. This is … interesting. Let’s discuss.
Oh dear global cooperation, what could be more hideous / / /
The unraveling continues . . .
What can we do?
