Climate Talks Remains Nothing But Talk

No surprise here. No agreement will ever be made between participants of the ongoing series of summits ostensibly designed to find a solution to the ever increasing threat of greenhouse gases.
Here are the results of the latest ‘talks’:
- Stall tactics continue to allow industrialized nations to pollute and rape less industrialized nations of their resources
- Oil rich nations continue to extract non-renewable fossil fuels from the earth

As long as industrialized natins continue to pay out funds to less industrialized nations under guidelines of the Green Climate Fund or other funding procedure, industrialized nations will feel they are ‘doing their part’ to protect us and no further progress will ever be made. As it stnads right now the combined pledge of $30 billion since last year’s Copenhagen Summit has not been met.
Until health becomes more important than money there will be no change.
If world leaders were truly concerned about the effects of greenhouse gases on our environment and our health they would come up with a lasting solution.
Slowing down the current rates of pollution by the meager rates agreed on thusfar amounts to nothing more than a token attempt to show the world ‘something’ is being done.
It is a sad fact that no real improvement in the human condition has ever been made until a tragic ‘accident’ takes place. And there is no reason to expect this behavior to change now.
The best that we who depend on our leaders to do something can hope for is that we can survive whatever nature has in store for us.
So keep your emergency survival supply levels current and hang on tight.
