I fear it will lead to opposition governments in other countries making anti-climate change their policy. And with how incumbents are getting tossed out due to cost of living, there's every chance that an opposition would see it as a mandate.
And with how incumbents are getting tossed out due to ~~cost of living~~ failing to limit inequality
FTFY. There are economic policies that could prevent the working-class disillusionment that causes democracies to backslide into fascism, but neoliberals refuse to implement them.
The attitude in a lot of countries had been "China contributes xx% to global emissions, we only contribute y% so why should we trash our economy if China isn't doing absolutely everything possible?" - add the US into that and that resistance is even harder to overcome
