Zelensky has given Trump everything that Trump demanded in return for absolutely nothing beyond a vague promise of some nebulous something. This is what happens when one believes the non-credible promises of a US that weaponises you for its own purposes

Based on carbon budgets from Lamboll et al
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- updated to January 2025, the global rate for cutting CO2 inline with a 50% chance of not exceeding 1.5°C is ~19% year on year. For "well below 2°C" its ~7% each year; i.e. a technology revolution AND profound social change.
