THE 26th UN Climate Change Conference (Cop26) has ended in Glasgow. Every year (with the exception of the Covid-stricken 2020) the 200 countries who are party to the United Nations Framework Convention established at the first Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 come together to talk about the climate emergency.
But don’t believe the hype — Cop26 was an elaborate hoax on the people of the world. It was designed by politicians to make the world believe that there was a genuine seriousness to tackle the climate emergency. No such seriousness exists.
The discussions leading up to the summit talked about how we were drinking in the last-chance saloon. It is now close to last orders: the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C was never close to happening.
