Attention Liberals

 

Are you white? Do you carry guilt for events that happened over a century before you were born?

Do you wish to live a socialist way of life?

 

Come to the Democratic Republic of the Congo!

 

Here you will be truly a minority. There are many languages spoken here, but the main Official Language used for administrative and other dealings is French.

Here in the DNC you can live the Socialist Lifestyle.

 

Do you support electric vehicles for the World?

In the DRC we mine most of the cobalt used in those batteries

Imagine! You can mine cobalt and support the electric vehicle industry directly while sleeping under the Stars

All the while getting first hand experience in how immigrants in your native United States are feeling.

The strange languages, the strange customs, the unfamiliar weather, but with the joy of being part of a socialist country!

Come to us, Brothers and Sisters in Socialism!

Remember, the very first part of our country's name is "Democratic!"

U.S. Withdraws from Critical IMO Climate Meeting, Threatens Retaliation Over Emissions Pricing

Mike Schuler April 8, 2025

 

In a dramatic development at the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee meeting in London, the Trump administration has announced the United States’ withdrawal from crucial maritime decarbonization negotiations taking place this week.

 

The US government delivered a strongly worded diplomatic message to IMO delegations, explicitly rejecting any measures that would impose fees on U.S. vessels based on greenhouse gas emissions or fuel choice.

 

The administration further warned it would consider implementing reciprocal measures to offset any charges imposed on American ships.

 

The Trump Administration’s action was first reported by Lloyd’s List.

 

The IMO’s Net-Zero Framework plans to modify MARPOL Annex VI by implementing both a marine fuel standard and emissions pricing system. Delegates at this week’s MEPC meeting are expected to finalize draft legal text for the measures.

 

The 2023 IMO GHG Strategy aims to achieve net-zero emissions from international shipping by 2050, with emissions peaking as soon as possible, while considering national circumstances and aligning with Paris Agreement temperature goals.

 

In its message, the Trump administration characterized the IMO’s efforts as “an attempt to redistribute wealth under the guise of environmental protection.” The US particularly objected to the IMO’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, arguing it would “unwisely promote the use of hypothetical expensive and unproven fuels.”

 

The IMO’s current strategy further aims for a 40% reduction in shipping’s carbon intensity by 2030 compared to 2008 levels, with 5-10% of shipping’s energy coming from zero or near-zero GHG emission sources by 2030.

 

If approved, these measures could become effective in 2027 following final adoption at an extraordinary MEPC session in October 2025.
