So Big Finance and their oil buddies had a huge, 65,000-member COP party in Baku, a nice fly-in junket with national pavilions etc. Of course the rules were all set up for their financial benefit - they figure if they shuffle enough money around, you will be distracted from thinking about climate change! No one big business, not one nation, is going to take the necessary actions to wean civilization off fossil fuels. So let’s carry on with the COP meetings, and keep up the meaningless discussions leading to nowhere. Perhaps eventually civilization will collapse under its own weight, thus solving the problem.
Thanks for helping to expose this, Chris!
