World leaders prove incapacity to deal with threat to humanity at COP26

So two weeks of COP26, results in world leaders proving once again, they are incapable of coming together to confront a threat to all humanity. The result of COP26 is a ringing endorsement for continuation of the damaging consumer capitalist model that has played such a part in creating the crisis in the first place. Yes, there are some modifications, gestures, but will even these be realised when you look at the failure of past COPs to deliver real action. Instead, we will continue with more floods, droughts and heat waves. Lands disappearing, with the poorest suffering most. Then, one day when climate and biodiversity loss are truly recognised as at pandemic levels action will be taken. It will cost more, with the poorest suffering most but that is where we are after two weeks of blah,blah, blah. published - Independent - 14/11/2021
