COP27: waste of time and environmental cost

We needed to focus on cutting emissions rather than dealing with the symptoms

Pathetic. The COP 27 output is wholly inadequate. The conference has failed. Again. But as expected. The climate crisis will not be solved by moving money around. Capitalism’s fundamental tenet of continual growth has caused the problems; it will not help solve it.

The ostrich-like approach of most governments in ignoring the problem, thinking they will cope, throwing some money at the problem has not and will not work.

Change is needed

We needed to focus on cutting emissions rather than dealing with the symptoms. We need cultural and societal change. This has to start with each and every one of us. You and me.

Yet another waste of time, high environmental cost, COP meeting.

COP27: another cop-out, again
