ADVANTAG : Emissions Trading / Carbon Market News (2017-01-23)

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Last Friday Donald Trump became the 45 President of the United States of America. This is one of the most important and responsible positions on our small, blue planet earth.

But instead to fill this appointment with human grandeur, his narcistic wound made him fighting back under threat of consequences against the press, which only wrote about the fact, that visibly less people was attending his inauguration in Washington D.C., than 2009 under Barack Obama.

His top political consultancy, Kellyanne Conway, called Trumps standpoint, that never did participate more people a swearing-in ceremony for a US-President, as 'alternative facts'.

Obviously more people than on Trumps inauguration did worldwide demonstrate against him on 600 events globally. Solely in Washington the place in front of his seat was full of around half a million people, primarily women. Trumps way of seeing woman in the society, which was partially deepest level born in the gutter, brought stars to the US capital, like Madonna, Julia Roberts or Emma Watson for example.

One of Trumps first official acts - and it might be difficult for some people, to say or write US-President Trump - was the update of the homepage of the White House. If anybody tries to find out anything about his plans on climate change, he will see now the message 'Sorry, no results found for ´climate change`…' at https://www.whitehouse.gov/energy/climate-change

In his election campaign Trump flatly denied the climate change already. And as US-President he will probably face all facts about climate change too with 'alternative facts' and at max of 140 letters on Twitter.

Meanwhile the European market for carbon emission rights did ignore Trumps inauguration and rose on weekly basis almost 8% to 5.42 Euro per ton.
