RETHINKING - October 30, 2021 - A Summit to Nowhere

The Wall Street Journal posted an opinion column of the Editorial Board titled "The Climate Summit to Nowhere".


The column starts with a statement that says that C0P26 was planned with unrealistic goals and in a bad timing.

After that, WSJ adds "World leaders converge on Glasgow for a climate summit this weekend, and don’t laugh. This may be the worst-timed summit in history, but the delegates can still do substantial damage to the global economy, though none of it will matter to the climate."

"It’s incongruous bordering on the bizarre to organize a summit like this while Europe is battening down for a winter fuel crisis, President Biden is begging OPEC to produce more oil, China is firing up its coal-fueled power plants amid an electricity shortage, and climate-change plans wilt as soon as they’re exposed to the sunlight of democratic politics."

My opinion: "The summits about climate are a "new business" of the politicians. They meet periodically to discuss the climate of the future. With this excuse, they talk about their own businesses to make more money."
