I don’t know this guy Max but he seems to have a point and apparently is getting some traction:
So is Mr Trump really a contender for USA president in 2024?
I suspect not. Not anymore, anyway. (I’m no US politics expert BTW … and this opinion is not investment advice.)
Still, if Mr Trump isn’t a contender for President, that’s good for global climate action (or a G20 climate solution) that actually bites, isn’t it?
The commentary over the past several hours makes me a little less convinced about my previous opinion that EU carbon prices, the best proxy the world has for global climate action, will drop over the coming days / weeks / months because of sanctions on Russian companies / banks.
If Trump is out and climate action is in, it would make a nice change from the past 32 years of failed efforts to curb heat-trapping emissions.
See this from The Hill. Is this Trump desperation?

This also caught my eye. Is Mr Putin ruining his “retirement” chance?
