Very sad to see that continually escalating a pointless trade war to provoke a new cold war is now politically more acceptable than environmental action, even among Democrats.
As someone that remembers the last cold war, I really don't want a new one, but there now seem to be very few political voices in the US or Europe that would agree with me. Are they so out of ideas for solving domestic issues, that they can only resort to distracting voters by ramping up pro-war rhetoric? Very dangerous.

Don't you see the world transitioning towards authoritarianism? The future generation will thank us if we can undermine a few clear cheer leaders of that transition at the expense of "Western green transition" (as opposed to global green transition)

Not really. I'd like to see more democracy, but much of the world had unfortunately always been either autocratic or only superficially democratic.
I am concerned about certain Western politicians with an authoritarian attitude that could well be a threat to existing democracies, and Biden's remarks about promoting democracy around the world clearly aren't sincere - the US has only ever supported democracy abroad when it aligned with their own interests. (E.g. consider Obama's reaction to the coup in Egypt a few years ago.)
Anyway, back on topic, a green transition will only happen if world leaders put aside such considerations and actually work together. That seemed to be happening, to some extent, a decade ago - but clearly any such cooperation is now evaporating in favour of warmongerin
