States like Louisiana or Mississippi have huge black minorities. If those voters turn up to actually vote in a non racist candidate the Republicans could loose.

It is a light small car, which weights a third of a Tesla Model 3. W=0.5mv² so a third of the masd means a third of the energy needed.
Soylent Green needs people too.
This is only about land, land use and forestry. So the request is pretty much not to cut down forests. That is asked all the time, for very good reasons.
3billion trees sounds like a lot, but the area it takes to plant those trees is less the 1/1000 of the area of the EU. I highly doubt, that this would lead to a measurable decline in EU farm land and especially high quality farm land.
Moving away from Office and Windows and so forth is a nightmare for any larger company. If you use specialized software, it might very well only run on Windows or only have an integration into Office. Even if you could, you then have to retrain staff to use Libre Office, Linux and other alternatives. You also will have problems converting, changing servers and so forth.
So companies just do not switch. That is how Microsoft makes money. They really do not care that much about private users. That is only usefull so people can use their products.
A lot of US oil wells are using fracking. Fracking produces oil and gas very quickly, but the well also declines quickly. First year decline for tight oil is 50% and second year another 30%. For shale oil itvis 34% in the first year.
Those two make up over half of the US oil and gas production. So no permits would mean US oil production falls by a third within 2 years or so.

The ClimateActionTracker website itself actually has a lot more details on individual countries, their targets and the policies they implemented. You can see by how much they miss their targrets as well. For example the US is pretty close to the 3C line.
The EU emission targets would require about 37% of cars sold to be EVs starting next year. That is nearly double the current level in a few months. Combined with low car sales mainly due to work from home being more populare since the pandemic and car makers have a decent challenge to solve. Also they can not just buy Chinese due to tarrifs.
Also the German government has already declined to work towards lowering those targets. It is the German car industry calling for it.
Partly, but also genetic diversity due to geography(islands and moutain ranges for example) and the tropics just being more diverse. Just compare the Taiga with the Amazon rainforest.
Only? The Saudis own Manchester City, Qatar owns PSG. The Saudis paid Ronaldo half a billion to play in the Saudi league and he is not the only one with an insane contract. Never mind Qatar building a bunch of stadia just to host the world cup and the Saudis paying FIFA to make them host in 2034 by making Spain, Portugal, Morroco, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay hosts of the 2030 world cup.
You are not going to easily convert a hardcore Republican, but a lot of undecided voters do not follow politics closely. Having the Republican describing himself as a Nazi is about as clear as it can get, which will convice a lot of them to vote blue. It is also a good way of bringing people who would vote Democrat to actually vote.
