COP is the attempt by the globalists to seize even more control. Don’t believe their doom and gloom. This is all a power grab. We’ve ceded too much control because we gave in to fear about the Xiden Flu and they want to go all the way. All part of The Great Reset. Two-tiered societies, neo feaudalism. Also, mass genocide of all those the elite deems no longer worthy of being allowed to live.

The majority of chinas pollution output is created in making export goods for other countries… in this sense everyone is responsible. Consumers, politicians and industry leaders need to think twice where they buy from if any country is unwilling to adapt. Reducing the demand will always make suppliers rethink their production techniques!

To be clear, we can still address climate change, but how bad it gets before the political will gets high enough is a different matter entirely. We should do whatever we can to raise that political will as soon as possible.
Deep Ashtray
November 2, 2021 at 2:51 pm
@Pandaboi The ultra rich are convinced that they are a privileged class whose lifestyles are protected from climate change by their wealth and privilege; they are the ones the politicians are pandering to. Very few from that class, particularly those whose wealth is connected to perpetuating the products and activities causing climate change, are willing to stick their necks out unless they see it as a means to bolster their own position. We are a consumer based society, that is what has to end. But by doing so literally billions of working people across the planet will need to find new livelihoods. Bit of a conundrum there; politicians will answer to the working class when people start losing their source of income due to trying to curb climate change. We’re in a real pickle.

Such nonsense. China and India need to be involved or funding cut. Government is important but it starts with individuals. I implore all of you to make changes in your own lives to reduce your own carbon footprint. If the over 60% of people who purport to care about climate change make changes, it will make a difference. Regardless of what others tell you.
Erik Mikkelsen
November 2, 2021 at 3:04 am
Saying that it’s up to individuals is disingenuous. Corporations are responsible for the vast majority of carbon emissions. While it’s definitely not a bad thing for individuals to try to reduce their carbon footprints, corporations need to be held to stricter standards (which ultimately requires government regulation).

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change.
They found that under the most extreme scenario, where no animal products are consumed at all, adequate food production in 2050 could be achieved on less land than is currently used, allowing considerable forest regeneration, and reducing land-based greenhouse gas emissions to one third of the reference “business-as-usual” case for 2050.

World population 1955 = 2.8 billion. It took 2.5 million years of human progress to get there.
World population 2021 = 7.9 billion. It took 66 years of incremental human progress and globalisation to nearly treble to world’s population.
Outcome? World climate crisis! World resources crisis! Anarchy! Despair. What a surprise. So, technology will solve all humanity’s problems, eh? Just like it’s done so far? Progress solves one problem only to generate even further, bigger ones. Our fate’s not in our hands.
