If Trump succeeds in torpedoing the economy and causing a recession, decimating tourism and air travel to the US, and weakening industrial production, he may cause a substantial drop in US emissions of climate-destroying gases and help us meet our Paris Agreement commitment. #climate - ThreadSky

The most twisted glass half-full take ever
I love it!! 👏🏻

Ever the optimist, Peter.

Covid did improve emissions if I recall.

I guess you could call that the bright side of living in a fascist state.

A valid point. We are living in a planetary explosion that barely anyone can be arsed about. The result will be nightmarish and permanent and it is happening right on our watch.

We will not stop on time. It will permanently close your local shops. I'm sorry but I hope Trump does what he does best.

A not to be overlooked side benefit of this outcome - it would be hilarious

..and by increasing the death rate by reducing medical availability he is helping population control.

The #TrumpSlump is happening. No if required.

in my view, ends do not justify means, or is that also up for discussion?

Yes, but while reinforcing the totally incorrect narrative that economies and people have to suffer to address climate change

Problem is, that’ll be offset by all the emissions his crypto initiatives will bring about.

Unfortunately, the next steps in your list of Trump destruction is a depression and a war. First the 1918 pandemic, then the 1929 market crash and world Depression, the proliferation of authoritarian regimes, and then war. Tragically, we may be a part of the Axis and not the Allies this time.
