The energy transition is unambiguously under way — even though it is still not fast enough, still too heavily reliant on China’s domestic efforts, and the progress that has been made occurred before Trump began doing his best to prolong the life of fossil fuels.

What of the alternative that Helm suggests, "a bottom-up coalition of unilateralist countries on carbon targets"? Germany tried this in the G7 in 2023, but when the US rejects climate science and China and Russia continue to push fossil fuels, there are few large emitters to make such a club work.
