I’m shocked! Who could’ve seen this coming?? /s
But seriously, the world is fucking boiling right now and these people can’t agree to some standards?
The old men who run the world don’t care because they’ll be dead soon anyway.
Normal old people still care, because they care about the world and the people they love, whether or not they’re still around. Sociopathic corporate and political leaders, however, don’t care. The issue is not so much the age as the pathological selfishness that got them into those positions in the first place.
Plus they understand that they will be safe while the peasants go through the polycrisis’ genocide .
Yep, age doesn’t matter here. Just look at Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. They’re young-ish and have no problem with watching the world burn.
Pff, this has to do with people caring more about their polling numbers than the environment.
Actually saving the environment requires some hard sacrifices and it’s hard to be the elected leader who tells their voters that they’re going to pay more and get less.
But in non-democratic countries you’re right of course.
I’m starting to think these people don’t have our best interests in mind.
Some paragraphs for tl;dr:
The discussions with China, Saudi Arabia, and on climate issues with Russia had been “complicated”, he added.
Major oil producers fear the impact of drastic mitigation on their economies, and Russia and Saudi Arabia were blamed for the lack of progress in Goa.
Reports of Saudi and Chinese resistance, he added, “fly in the face of their claims of defending the interests of developing countries”.
At this point the best thing that summit can do for the environment is stop occurring
