While so many people are worried about the impact of Trump’s new tariffs on imports to the USA and the effect on the world economy, personally I see a positive side. The resulting semi-crash of the stock markets and predictions of loss of growth are, in a way, positive for the struggle against anthropomorphic climate change: an unintended own goal by climate skeptics which benefits Team Degrowth. A slowdown in economic growth means a slowdown in carbon dioxide emissions. It also gives us all a better idea about what Degrowth actually feels like.
