1. USA just handing global leadership over to China in exchange for nothing.

   Well played

2. >“In the absence of robust U.S. climate action, the EU and China still recognize the imperative of working together to confront a shared existential threat,” said Li Shuo, director of China Climate Hub at the Asia Society Policy Institute. “Amid deep divergences” in global climate policy, he said, the joint statement “offers a modest but meaningful source of relief.”
   With years of generous state support for private companies, China is now the global front-runner in [building and selling clean energy](https://archive.is/o/RTmYf/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/30/climate/china-clean-energy-power.html) technologies.

3. The US was just hitting its stride on renewable energy. Domestic production was starting to meet demand. Large scale projects were completed with more to come. Green energy was bringing costs down. A new industry created tens of thousands of jobs.

4. Hard to give up that idiot American consumer market, but it needs to happen. Kudos to the rest of the world. Maybe America’s next recession won’t have a Global impact like 2008.

5. Glad to see other places are going to hold it down until America can reverse course

6. We are doing one thing. We’re alienating all allies bringing them all closer together while we fall into fascism and defend pedophiles.
