Stop supporting green washing
Stop supporting sports washing
Stop supporting whatever-makes-these-countries-look-good washing
Of course they are. It's gonna be hard to spend all that money when everyone is dead!
The rich are killing us all, but don't seem to realise that they won't be escaping either. Shit rises to the top.
They’ve already built bunkers for themselves.
I hope they enjoy living in fear as the world dies around them. They'll get a few more years than the rest of us, and somehow they think this matters.
Most of them are older than 80 anyways.
I'm sure the billionaires that feel like they just have to travel the entire world in building-sized yatches, and living in gigantic villas, as well as having private jets to fly everywhere, would love to spend the rest of their lives in a security bunker with the same people (that definitively won't ever rebel).
Sad to say that I'm not surprised. The sooner we wean ourselves off of oil the better. Unfortunately, because of greed and lying politicians, it's going to be longer than we thought.
The headlines still all seem to be about countries increasing their use of oil and coal while promising reductions sometime just far enough in the future. It has been this way for years I guess, but now the world is literally on fire and they're still ramping up fossil fuels.
I shouldn't be laughing so hard, every time I think about this it has me in fits of giggles. Fucking post satire reality has broken my sense of humour.
Global climate action in a nutshell.
i honestly don't understand, what else would they talk about?
not suprised tbh
I mean... I guess it's relevant as a topic? 😔
On par with those talks. At least those ones can be productive, unlike all the greenwashing they’re usually doing.
Most ironically, that might have been actually more climate friendly than not to use this opportunity. Think about it. Those talks would have taken place with or without this summit, but without it, delegates would have needed to fly there separately.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
