The G7 leaders have failed in their responsibility. This was an opportunity to make up for lost time & be the leaders they are supposed to be. Instead it was a gathering for photo ops, lots of smiles & glad handing.
What does it take to get their full attention? Yes, the house is on fire while they enjoy cocktails & smile. They can’t even see the smoke.
Can COP26 rise to the challenges! Let’s hope so.
And perhaps you should send your articles to the Exxon CEO, though likely wasted effort.
As usual G7 did not live up to expectations on climate change. Seems agreeing on limiting coal burning was a no go. From the US point of view the one good point that did occur was that European leaders knew that we were back to preTrump relations.
As the pandemic wanes it definitely means carbon emissions will also rise. Seems an opportunity was missed by the G7.
So very disappointing!
