Led by Donkeys… wtf is this lumpen clod doing at this fcuk fest when every other leader treats it with the contempt it deserves Starmer urges Trump to learn ‘lesson from history’ and vows net zero ‘leadership’ Sir Keir Starmer has urged Donald Trump to learn the “lesson from history” and back the shift to green energy. The Prime Minister said there is “a global transition” to clean power currently underway and there will be benefits to being a “first mover”. Sir Keir made the comments as he addressed a press conference at the Cop29 climate change summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, which has been snubbed by many other prominent world leaders including Joe Biden, Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz. Mr Trump is expected to withdraw from the Paris climate change agreement when he returns to office in January and he repeatedly pledged during his campaign to “drill, baby, drill” to unleash increased oil production. Asked for his message to the president-elect, Sir Keir said: “The central most important thing for me here at Cop is one, to continue to show UK leadership on climate at this critical time and we will continue to do so, to make sure that we are the enablers of the leveraging of private capital now towards the targets that need to be set, to set out own target as I have just done in relation to emissions. “But most importantly, to be clear that I see this not just as a global challenge but a global opportunity. If you were to look at where global investors are investing, they are investing in renewables and everybody knows there is a transition, an energy transition, these things happen quite rarely, once in a generation usually, perhaps a little bit longer than that where there is a global transition on energy and the lesson from history is to go into that transition with a clear plan, for a just outcome.
