Since the beginning of summer this year, the world is witnessing an unprecedented heat wave. Greece and the American West are going through the worst and longest heat wave in their history in more than 40 years. This coincides with the limited water reserves in many countries of the world after the decline in the amount of precipitation for this year, which coincided with the Climate Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh. That summit, which does not seem to have had any results, is not mentioned, even as a reminder, in all media statements, whether by politicians or specialists.
The current heat wave has caused forest fires to break out again and kill many species, including the elderly and children among humans. I believe that those who are still convinced of the usefulness of these summits in defining strategies to confront climate changes caused by global warming should reconsider their views.

One of the common misconceptions about the climate change expenditures is that we're promised if we redistribute wealth around (ie climate change payoffs to other countries or reducing energy production/CO2 emissions) is that these isolated climate events (hurricanes, heat waves, snow storms, etc.) would stop. They would still happen independent of any climate change intervention proposals.
It’s funny how these politicians & leaders who push climate change use private jets to travel. A private jet doing one moderate length flight uses more CO2 than the average guy does driving a car in his whole life.
Climate change is a political weapon. If you can convince enough of the population that impending doom is facing humanity and illicit irrational fearful responses, you've guaranteed yourself political power.
These climate change conferences are just talking shops in order to make us believe
something proactive is being done when in fact nothing is being done really to address
the issues and generally speaking business people are more concerned about profit
than the environment, in my country it was reported 2 weeks ago that CO2 emissions
are rising - but at least the climate conferences are happening.
It is not possible to ignore the fact that everyone is affected by climate change, including countries that did not cause it to a great extent. In these international conferences, all of these countries participate as if they are all in alliance to deal with the crisis. But in fact, the major industrial countries are participating in the conference and pumping budgets in the form of aid to the affected poor countries, in order to say that they really contribute to confronting the crisis. And poor countries participate in order to obtain financial support that will be used to support their weak economies. I mean, the outputs of the conference are always in the form of countries that grant financial aid to poorer countries.
But was this enough or did it lead to any results? Confronting a global crisis is supposed to be in the form of strategies that all countries of the world work according to, just as it happened during the war of confrontation against Corona. As long as a strategic plan of action that extends over the coming decades is not approved, these conferences are nothing more than a media show.
