Pirate's Cove

You know what real action would look like? Well, for one, reporters not acting as activists, which is what is happening her. Also, not having tens of thousands take long fossil fueled travel, buying all sorts of fast fashion which lets them take all their cute selfies, all while demanding that Other People reduce their own standard of living

COP28 needs to show action not words for business, finance leaders

Less talk and more action on decarbonising the energy system should be the main focus of world leaders at the next round of climate talks, speakers at the Reuters IMPACT conference said.

So, wait, Reuters held a conference where at ton of Warmists took fossil fueled trips? Huh

November’s COP28 conference in Dubai is seen as a crucial opportunity for governments to accelerate action to limit global warming and preserve nature, yet to-date most countries are nowhere close to reaching net-zero carbon emissions.

“What we want to see, all of us, is a real sense of urgency about reducing CO2 emissions,” Roche Vice-Chair Andre Hoffmann said.

“We are going to get to (a) position where we really need to show results. We need to show action, and I’m not sure that what I’ve read so far of the COP28 will be strong enough for that.”

Speaking on a separate panel on Thursday, Eelco van der Enden, chief executive of the Global Reporting Initiative agreed: “I would suggest that they stick to the words of the late and great American philosopher Elvis Presley: a little less conversation, a little more action.”

So, how do we trust the news when they are no long impartial? When they are basically part of a cult? Would you trust a reporter who’s a member of a cult, say, Scientology, if they were reporting on Scientology and telling you everything is great?

Despite rapidly falling prices for renewable energy, Roche’s (ROG.S) Hoffmann said much faster action was needed.

“This is not just the time for good intentions, it’s a time for decarbonising our energy production system.”

With cutting edge climate tech such as sucking carbon out of the air set to play a big role in the discussions in Dubai, Celine Herweijer, chief sustainability officer at HSBC (HSBA.L) said it was important to remember there was more to be done to increase the use of renewable energy.

So, basically, people who stand to make a lot of money by forcing Doing Something want to force people to Do Something? Go figure.

Despite that, Steer said there was cause for optimism, particularly if governments embraced the need for, and opportunities that would open up by, “smart, bold action”.

“You’ll have greater economic efficiency, you will drive new technologies, you will lower risk and you will reshape expectations about the future. And those four things combined can lead to a lot of dynamism.”

Green Fascists are happy to get government to force citizens to act in a certain way and take their money so the same Fascists can make money.
