  • I know all of this. That the discussions are more than a decade old, that developing nations haven’t contributed to Climate Change and that they’re being asked to use sustainable/renewable energy.

    I am just a big old cynic and I don’t believe all developing nations (well, their leaders) are truly interested in doing their bit, regardless of how much money and in what form. That’s just how powerful humans operate. It’s why they’re powerful, in the majority of cases.

  • I don’t believe all developing nations (well, their leaders) are truly interested in doing their bit

    This may be true. But it is probably equally, if not more true of many developed nations. It's just odd that you reserve your ire for the poorest countries.

    And you are right to be cynical of the process, but again the process is pretty much being dictated by the countries with money. So maybe be more cynical about the people with the power rather than those with none.

  • I have ire for - and am cynical about - the whole thing, for the record. Nations leaders don’t get a free pass just because the nation they lead is a developing one.

    IMO, the Cop summits are nothing more than posturing from all sides.
