Captain Planet vs. The Don: Starmer Bets on a Global Green Tax

 🌍🔥🚢Britain’s Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has apparently decided to strap on his superhero cape and take on not just climate change — but Donald Trump’s ego — by backing a global net zero tax on shipping emissions. Yes, while Trump yells about “job-killing globalist nonsense,” Starmer’s over here doing carbon math like a man who just discovered Excel’s “Save the Planet” function.

Here’s the drama: The U.S. warned that a carbon levy on ships would send prices for everyday goods sky-high. Because, you know, nothing terrifies Washington like slightly more expensive avocados. 🥑💸

But Starmer? He’s doubling down — smiling in that head-boy-meets-eco-evangelist way — and telling the world Britain will lead the charge on green shipping. Translation: “We can save the planet and still import your iPhones… just maybe not next-day delivery.”

Meanwhile, Trump’s camp is fuming. Expect a late-night Truth Social post calling Starmer “Sir Windmill,” accusing him of trying to tax the ocean, and probably throwing in a meme of Greta Thunberg piloting the Titanic.

But let’s give it to Starmer — in a world of hot air, he’s at least trying to bottle it for fuel. The only question is whether the public’s patience will sink faster than a container ship full of British steel. 🌊💀
