‘A colossal own goal’: Trump’s exit from global climate treaties will have little effect outside US https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jan/09/a-colossal-own-goal-trumps-exit-from-global-climate-treaties-will-have-little-effect-outside-us Fiona Harvey and Oliver Milman Investment in low-carbon forms of energy is now above $2tn a year, dwarfing the $1tn spent on fossil fuels. Renewable energy alone grew 15% last year.. Low-carbon power makes up more than half of the generation capacity of China and India, and China’s exports of low-carbon goods and services topped $20bn in a single month last year.
Under Trump, the US risks being left on the sidelines – a position that Kerry called a “gift to China”. .. Meanwhile, people living in the US will be confronted with increasing frequency with the effects of the climate crisis. Wildfires last January in California forced the evacuation of more than 200,000 people. Farmers are struggling with pests, drought and floods. Homes in some areas are becoming uninsurable, and extreme weather cost the US at least $115bn last year.

Neoliberalism wasn’t an accident. It was a deliberate ideological project built around the myth that “freedom through markets” would deliver freedom for everyone. Instead, it delivered: rent extraction, precarity, instability, a hollowed-out state & rising inequality and insecurity
Neoliberalism created extraction and not prosperity. It undermined democracy. It must be replaced with the politics of care. We must restore social purpose to the state as a consequence, and we must rebuild public services and public trust.
