Here’s the problem though: we’re steering straight towards another economic crisis, which will mean that governments have less to spend, so I’m quite sure that spending money on the climate crisis is going to be low on the list of priorities for the next season.
In the long term I bet this will harm the fight against climate crisis. There’s no way to measure this, however…

In a fiat money system with a non-independent central bank, there will always be enough money — until the bitter end (of the monetary system).
The so-called Grean Deal of the EU will only be feasible with gigantic amounts of money created out of thin air by the ECB.
Everybody in Brussels knows this.

Guess what that will do with the economy, and there you have the reason that nobody in Brussels want to do this.
In Brussels, they will probably do what seems the least evil to them.
This could well be the starting of the (money) printing press.

I have literally checked the map every three hours that I am up and I grow concerned about every single country with more than 1,000 even though I have no connection to those countries apart from here. I also pay attention to my country obviously and the countries that have around the same number of people with it. Some will argue that the flu is worse, but the coronavirus is new and it doesn’t have a cure, while the flu, you can get a vaccine for.
