That's the takeaway from this TNR piece.
Agreeing to fund more fossil fuel exploration abroad, and reneging on previous promises not to, is bad?
But why? Germany, especially, got addicted to Russian oil and gas and now, being a good NATO slave, is hoping to get places in the Global South to drill, baby, drill.
That's not totally true. Reality is that the Russia-Ukraine war is a fig leaf as much as actual issue. Maybe more.
Remember that when Obama and Xi were making the Paris Accords toothless, the rest of the G7 was silently cheering them on. After that, G7 apparatchiks like Foreign Policy were saluting Xi Jinping Thought, I mean lies, on climate change control, only because they were trying to "own Trump."
