Milei now wants Argentina to quit the Paris Agreement [View all]

Thursday, February 6th 2025 - 08:30 UTC



Milei's government keeps taking stage countering progressive measures adopted under previous administrations


After pulling his country from the World Health Organization (WHO), Argentine President Javier Milei admitted Wednesday in an interview with a French outlet that he intended to withdraw from the 2015 Paris Agreement to limit greenhouse gas emmissions to preserve the planet's temperature from rising. “The environmentalist agenda is a real fraud,” said Milei, thus echoing similar recent statements from US President Donald Trump. To withdraw from the Paris Agreement, Law 27.270 would have to b e repealed by Congress.

Asked by Le Point if Argentina could leave the Paris Agreement, Milei answered: “Yes, I am considering it because I do not adhere to the environmentalist agenda. For me it is a real fraud. The issue of climate change, as it stands, is incorrect. That is, the issue of global warming has nothing to do with the presence of human beings. It is a problem of the temperature cycle of the planet. As far as we know, this is the fifth cycle of high temperatures. In the four previous ones, the human being was not present,”

In Milei's view, these approaches are “inspired by what I call neo-Marxism, or cultural Marxism, or post-Marxism, which is basically woke thinking.”

“It is neither more nor less than a question of this line of the oppressor and the oppressed, where the oppressor is the human being and the oppressed is the environment,” he also explained while speaking about “an absolutely bloody and murderous agenda, which is that of abortion,” for which “I fervently applaud Trump's decision to remove funding from the many academic articles on the issue of climate change.”
