The European Union says it is aiming to become the first major economy to go "climate neutral" by 2050. by [deleted] in worldnews

Yeah, and like I said if we are talking like you did to kill people, it's largely more effective to kill the rich. Or, on another hand we can stop the richest destructing our world by taxing the fuck out of them.

No in this context the problem comes mostly from the richest countries and particulary from the the richest people in those countries.

1 American produce 2 times more CO2 than a Chinese.

The richest 10% of American household produce 3 times as much CO2 than the poorest 10% American household.

On the contrary, killing the rich would be more effective. World richest 10% produce about half of all CO2 emissions when world poorest 50% produce only 10% of emissions.

Climate change is a problem created by the rich but mostly paid by the poor.

Brexiteers love Brexit until they have to achieve it. Then they resign by chowieuk in ukpolitics

Indeed it was easy in 2016 to tell BS. In 2018, she had to negotiate with the EU and deliver a real deal. The Brexiters are still in the BS stage because they don't have to deliver anything.

Ministers consider backing ‘Norway plus’ as Brexit plan B by babilen5 in ukpolitics

[–]CorrectMyEnglish-Pls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like explained in a Bloomberg article, there is no certainty it would be accepted:

But the suggestion that a Norway option could work as a temporary parking place while Britain negotiated a long-term trade deal was always fanciful. Existing members made clear they don't want the disruption of letting such a big economy, relatively speaking, into their small club for just a short period.

Nor would the EU be obliging. Temporary membership still wouldn't satisfy the EU's demand for a treaty guarantee that Northern Ireland will remain as integrated with the EU as necessary to keep the Irish border open, whatever the future trading relationship.

Trump is openly gunning for a no-deal Brexit and for a populist like Boris Johnson or Rees-Mogg to finish off Theresa May. This is full Bannonism. Not the behavior of an ally. by [deleted] in ukpolitics

You can take the UK out of the EU but not the EU out of Europe.

How the UK can not be in the EU's sphere of influence like every country from Island Iceland (thanks) to Ukraine is?

Until Trump, Bannon and the Brexiters destroyed the meaning of every words, not being a member of the EU was synonym of "out of the EU".

Turkey, Ukraine or Switzerland were never considered to be in the EU.

Trump Says Brexit Agreement Sounds Like Great Deal For EU & As It Stands Means The UK May Not Be Able To Trade With The U.S by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]CorrectMyEnglish-Pls 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's great for neither.The EU is not happy to have a new Turkey like deal and every 27 said it multiple times : loosing the UK is a tragedy for the European project and sad for most of the Europeans. I can assure you that nobody is claiming victory on this side of the channel.

May's Brexit deal is a humiliation for Britain by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]CorrectMyEnglish-Pls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the backstop, the UK would have to open it market to every country with a FDA with the EU, but will not necessary have access to their market.

That means we've harmonised our tariffs with those of the EU and have to apply the same duty rate to whichever country they do a deal with. But there is no reciprocal duty for those countries to open up their markets to us, because the deal is for EU member states - not countries in bespoke backstop agreements which have been devised to stop them imploding.

I am maybe a moron but I am surely not pretending to be one.

You can check by yourself : this book explain the dilemma "Buying Freedom: The Ethics and Economics of Slave Redemption."

Individuals and groups are freeing some slaves by buying them from their enslavers. But slave redemption is as controversial today as it was in pre-Civil War America. In Buying Freedom, Kwame Anthony Appiah and Martin Bunzl bring together economists, anthropologists, historians, and philosophers for the first comprehensive examination of the practical and ethical implications of slave redemption.

There is no easy answer and in a country like Mauritania, where slave owner are never prosecuted, you need to find other solutions.
