Donald Trump, Climate Warrior
From Left Anchor by Ryan Cooper & Alexi the Greek

About this episode
The episode discusses Donald Trump's impact on climate change and the green energy transition, alongside political issues like gerrymandering and a Supreme Court case.
The dumbest president in American history, with his world-historically stupid war on Iran choking off trade through the Strait of Hormuz, with no end in sight, has de facto imposed a gigantic carbon tax on the entire planet. As a result, the green energy transition is leaping ahead at the fastest pace yet--led by China, which is cementing its position as the economic and technological powerhouse of the 21st century. That's...good? We also discuss the Supreme Court's latest bowel movement in Callais vs. Louisiana, the continual acceleration of Republican gerrymandering, and more. Enjoy!
