Ibon wrote:This is the point Revi I was making on the Impeachment thread. Everyone is secretly relieved we have incompetent politicians and failed international accords because then everyone can not only continue to pretend into the foreseeable future but they also have someone to blame.......
Convenient.
Tanada wrote:That is just human nature at work. It is also the reason I concluded several years ago we will do zero effective work to prevent massive climate change. Those who see this should do whatever they can to adapt to a warmer future rather than wringing our hands at the futility of humans acting like humans.

It's all about that, pretending we are still able to do something to address climate change, and more than that, claim to the world that economy will grow more than ever during the process and beyond.
Plantagenet wrote:Spain just released a statement that they will help Greta get to COP 25 in Madrid. No word yet on what kind of carbon-free transport Greta will take back across the Atlantic. Maybe Spain will send the Armada....

In current form they are tramendous waste of money and also a cause of huge emission of GHG.
All this travelling on conferences is of no use in face of possibilities offered by current tech.
The only travel needed should be one necessary to sign final accords.
