Comment on What can be done to prevent more dangerous heatwaves in Europe?

should the EU take action against billionaires or the US to address climate change? I suppose they could impose sanctions, fines, or something to save EU lives?

Or Guillitines. I’m good with that too.

  Many people seem comfortable with bringing back guillotines, including me. It would be interesting to see the reaction.

Lemme tell you man, i don’t think you can sound more impersonal and alien then you are doing now. Yes I would vote to do something about, yes. Maybe some hanging is required.

Yes, they should.

Trumo’s threat to impose new, higher, tariffs on EU for starting to legislate against US tech monopolies and support local startups show how it would go.

But better to put it forwards under the chicken taco and make headway, and then future US leaders (if any) would have to make open moves against environmental measures.

  The EU could take steps towards less dependency of the US (and other continents for that matter)

    Absolutely should.
    
    But the EU would like to continue to benefit from US military power and espionage while getting to pretend it is more moral. If the EU were to more overtly break with the US it would have to dramatically reformulate its neo-colonial economics.
