Since 1980, half of all (CPI-adjusted) damage costs from "major weather events" (defined as weather events incurring more than 1 billion in CPI-adjusted damages) have occurred in the last 10 years. Many of which are winter storms.
So yeah, you may have seen trends in snowfall. But the instability of weather systems is increasing due to climate change, and this storm is at least partially a consequence of that.
They've had plenty of time to draw up real measures against the USA. At least a month since military threats on Greenland started, and at least a year since the USA started talking non-stop about wanting it.
Per the article, this isn't even being put to a vote, it is being drawn up to use as leverage at the WEF. Fascists don't care about letters or threats without follow through. So far, from leaders around the world, all I've seen is what amounts to economic saber rattling.
Leadership bodies need to stop being Neville Chamberlain about this whole thing. Asking nicely, to a fascist, is as good as doing nothing.
My point was that america has made their designs for Greenland clear since January 2025, and has escalated to military threats for at least a month now.
You don't need a dictator to make decisions faster than that. From practically every western leader (by no means limited to the EU) I've seen a whole lot of strongly worded letters with threats to send another, more strongly worded letter if their warnings are not heeded.
Fascists don't care about these strongly worded letters, they never have and they never will. It's been demonstrated repeatedly throughout history.
Per the article, they are being drawn up for leverage in meetings with the USA this week. I think they are using far too soft a hand, especially considering other imperialist military action the USA has done this year.
Maybe they've decided to go the shoplifting route? Wait until they collect a ton of offences and then nail you to the wall once they have enough for serious charges
So he wasn't paying his share of taxes before, and he won't be paying them now. Only difference is now he won't also be a drain on the local resources. Seems like a win for californians to me.
If climate change was only about snowfall, sure. But from your own source:
