Here’s the answer to the question being asked at the impotent clown show called COP27.
Since world leaders have no intention of ever reducing C02 emissions, they are trying to distract us from their catastrophic failure by talking about something else. This year, it’s about money and who should pay whom to even out the suffering and death.
Because the idea of preventing the suffering and death isn’t even a possibility. At least not with these morons in charge.
So, they are currently arguing who should pay and how much to, say, Pakistan which contributes relatively little to C02 emissions but is currently 1/3rd under water. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s failed leaders are planning to vastly increase their use of coal.
I’m not seeing any heroes here. Not a single “leader” has declared a worldwide climate emergency and acted on the recommendations of the 15,000 climate scientists who are the experts on how to try to save the Earth.
Pakistan’s leaders are interested in Pakistan’s leaders. And the leaders of the wealthy western countries are interested in themselves. Nobody in a position of authority anywhere is making a serious credible effort to protect our children or the Earth they will inhabit.
