George Soros on climate change

From State of Financial Markets George Soros. · · Archivo Geopolitico

“I personally believe that we have a tremendous challenge ahead of us with global warming. We have to develop non-polluting fuel sources, we have to take carbon out of coal and fossil fuels generally, and that will require a tremendous investment which we need to do for our survival. And I think that could provide the motor for the world economy.”

About George Soros

Founder of Open Society Foundations · Open Society Foundations

In a 2010 interview with Chrystia Freeland, George Soros discussed global disorder and the fragility of European institutions. He argued that the European Union, which he described as the embodiment of an "open society," had been transformed by the euro crisis from a voluntary association of equals into a hierarchical structure of creditors and debtors. Soros also characterized Russia under Vladimir Putin as resembling inter-war Germany, calling it "nationalistic and based on resentment," and said the Putin regime's primary interest was preserving itself in power and maximizing rents. Soros stated that sanctions alone were insufficient to address the situation in Ukraine, as they reinforced Putin's narrative of Western hostility. He advocated for a strategy combining sanctions with effective assistance to Ukraine, arguing that a flourishing Ukraine could serve as a role model for people under Putin's domination and eventually bring about change in Russia.
