I mean it won't change anything much, listening or looking away. Just look at the whole conference, it seems pretty clear to me that there is no motivation to change.

If I learned today that the political meeting to solve the problem climate change is being held in a petro state, lead by an oil sheikh and sponsored by companies that have no ambition to change, I would assume that somebody wants to fool me or it's satire.

What I expect is a lot of talk, self love and emphasis on how great we're doing already, some vague ideas and plans and then back to business as usual.

But still, I think the author of this article is right. There is need to show political leaders, that we don't let us get tricked by their green washing and that we demand more, much more action and that we won't accept empty promises!

It's very tiring to just want to live in a world that doesn't kill us while most business men readily kill the climate for profit. And the hope that the future is worth living is fading quickly. But we need to stand up as long as there is a piece of hope left. We'll likely lose this fight, but at least we tried.

“Pay attention anyway”, as we force a popup that blocks you reading our article about why you should pay attention.

Glad it’s at least getting some attention. In the same vein, two netneutrality adversaries in the US (Cloudflare & Comcast) get a seat on the FCC’s Open Internet Advisory Committee. That gets no attention.

Whoever makes these decisions need some embarrassment. Do we need to establish a “Corruption Hall of Shame”?

They couldnt care less about what the dirty peasants do. They own us.
