          Why do they have to meet in person at all?

          How about they discuss how damaging so much pointless business travel has come back in the era of technology that works very well to host meetings virtually.

            It’s important to show up for things that matter. This is one of the most important issues of the 21st century and you are asking why our leaders aren’t literally phoning it in.

              This is exactly why we have greenwashing and clean coal. Idiots are buying this bullshit.

              The point is maybe if these singers, actors, various celebriites and B-list politicians had a virtual conference they could provide an example to end the vast waste of energy used for pointless in person meetings.

      Because these summits have any kind of track record of accomplishing anything? Talk, talk, fly, talk, fly …

        Why exactly do you think progress is being made? Just total coincidence? No people met up, discussed the problem, discussed solutions and implemented them.

          Why exactly do you think progress is being made?

          Exactly what progress is being made? C02 emissions are higher every year, US shut down the EPA, Canada ended carbon taxes.
