The environment

Since I posted my photo from Venice of an artwork in the form of two hands in Grand Canal, I could add that I have learned the work is about climate change. The artist is Lorenzo Quinn and the paper I link to is Greece (but in English ).

Speaking of that subject. It’s a bad photo. I don’t have a good camera. But this is a Dutch two euro coin with wind turbines on it.



And Angela Merkel (who I don’t have an own photo of) has not just been called the leader of the free world, who might create Pax Germania, and who got the highest marks in a study there Trump, Putin and Xi were unpopular, she has also been called “Climate Chancellor”. Yeah, she has been in the news a lot, I don’t know if she deserves everything, I am not an expert.

I think if you are in the company of Trump, Putin and Xi, then a popularity contest is a low bar.

I agree he is referred to as a "populist", but he isn't very popular. His popularity ratings have always been abysmal and he lost the popular vote by historic margins :/
