We are Fooked , never in the history of man has this happened, never is it likely to happen until it’s too late . COP24 what a joke
I find it strange that the Governments have been paying lip service to the whole COP thing for so long and very little real climate progress has been made.
The Latest COP summit just reinforced the Gulf (pun intended) of Difference between countries either protecting their Fossil /Petrochemical interests or Those countries wanting to Develop by Using Fossil fuel Vs Those who must change away from fossil fuels to keep their ailing economi alive .
I.E. those countries currently being shouted down by a relatively small amount of countries who Have previously developed massively from the benefit (Mostly Europe ) they want to deny to developing countries, developing countries who lead the way with the new tech developments currently/ have the most to Gain.
Big Business / countries with interests at both ends of the scale will not allow a rapid change away from Fossil / Petrochemicals.
We (the world ) are so reliant on the Petro industries, not just the fuel element, but in pretty much intertwined into everything industry uses / produces & consumers lap up so readily.
Why do the temporarily elected leaders of each country, from around the world, feel they must all meet up In One place, to tell others what they think the others should be doing to save the planet , whilst protecting their own fragile political existence.
Why do they feel it necessary to attend a single place, with a whole entourage of staff , security, world media etc etc!
Do they not consider how they all get there and the additional resources used in getting to / from the summits & whilst the summit(s) are being conducted In Buildings illuminated like Candles 24 hours a day , inside and out staying in Five star hotels quaffing imported drink and food , prepared & served to them 24hours a day by world migrants !
The hypocrisy of the Summits / leaders seem to be lost in translation!
Do they not have the technology to communicate face to face but remotely! (like businesses do everyday of the year & have done for a very long time ) !
The problem is getting temporary elected politicians to agree on anything for their own domestic situation is neigh on impossible, how do they think they going to agree on & progress a whole world strategy that suits everyone fairly ?
