Probably not. There’s a lot of reasons to be skeptical of those claimed numbers.

Good!

China is pretty serious about getting their renewables going, mostly for energy independance reasons. I think they can be convinced to cooperate with future climate goals if enough care is taken.

Of course, if they don’t cooperate, then yes, we need to move along without them.

If there’s one good thing that’ll hopefully come out of this mess, it’s less reliance on the USA and Canada being brought closer to Europe.

A nice one in my city (Cologne) is revamping some flood protections. Since I recently moved into a ground floor apartment near the Rhine, I appreciate that one a lot!

Tarrifs don’t affect Reddit or Lemmy directly. The indirect effects will come from the fact that trade wars usually cause a surge in consumers trying to avoid products and services from the unfriendly nation.

In this case, I think at least some European Redditors will be wanting to replace American social media platforms with European alternatives, and so will be looking again at Lemmy.

Good point about posting to the main channel, will do.
