the data of the Scientists and international organizations that deal with the weather, confirm that last year was the hottest registered and the first to overcome global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius, set in the Paris Agreement. Not exceeding that limit would avoid worsening of droughts, heat waves and a catastrophic increase in sea level. Above those 1.5 degrees Celsius, the climatic crisis caused by man and fed by contamination from fossil fuels, the ability to adapt humans and nature is exceeded.
To these bad news for the world, the beginning of the mandate of Donald Trump joins. Among its first measures, it is to withdraw from the Paris Agreement and announce the preeminence of hydrocarbons as part of its energy and economic policy, to the detriment of the alternatefies. And this when almost all countries in the world promised to strive to maintain the aforementioned agreement. And much more, if possible.
Donald Trump is a well -known climate denialist. In his first term he retired his country from the Paris Agreement. And now he repeats it, when specialists warn that delaying pro -climate actions by the main world economies, will bear fruit levels even higher, and with it, increasingly worse impacts.
Trump and his nearby advisors also pose to withdraw the United States from the United Nations Treaty to address climate change. This would hinder international negotiations and force the rest of the large greenhouse gas generators (China, Russia and the 27 countries of the European Union), to vigorize its programs to avoid greater effects due to the increase in temperature.
The Republican president and his advisors are not alone in the idea that global warming is a myth. They are accompanied by leaders like Javier Milei, in Argentina; Mrs. Giorgia Meloni, in Italy; The Fascist Vox party, in Spain, and other ultra -right parties in Europe. As the leaders of the alternative by Germany (AFD), increasingly with more followers. All of them ensure that human activities do not influence higher temperatures.
Meanwhile, the number of displaced by the increase in the level of the oceans and/or a very low quality of life grows. Recent data show that climate change is causing what could be the greatest mass migration in the history of humanity. The response of developed countries is to reject migrants.
Trump and other leaders have different objectives during their mandate. A fundamental and unattainable one is a higher arms spending by allied governments. For example, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has said that what is basically needed is an impulse in defense. For many years we have invested little in that area and that is why an increase in military spending is very urgent
holds. And the reason goes in two directions: on the one hand, stop the permanent threat
of Russia and, on the other, to content Donald Trump, who asks his allies to raise military spending up to 5 percent of gross domestic product.
Recent data leave no doubt about how the 27 nations of the European Union buy too many war teams abroad. Almost two thirds of them have their origin in the United States. In a report by former Italian prime minister and head of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, it is noted that, between 2022 and 2023, 63 percent of all the defense requests of the European bloc were made to US companies. The Netherlands already joined the list of members of the European Union who have commissioned the expensive F-35 combat aircraft manufactured in the neighboring country.
In 2022, the investigation and development expense in defense of the 27 EU countries, amounted to 11 thousand 800 million dollars, compared to the 140 billion of the United States, which every year amounts to 16 percent of its budget in defense . With less than that money, the hundreds of thousands of climatic refugees and raising their quality of life and work, as well as avoiding global warming, were retained in Africa. But today in the world, the military industrial complex imposes its law: Ukraine and Gaza are notable examples.
